I would love to buy these. Are you making a $1k $5k $25k chip?I finally had a chance to take some more photos, so I figured I'd give a little background and post some pr0n for my new CPC set.
Initially, I was resistant to designing a CPC set. @Rhodeman77, @Perthmike, and @detroitdad continued to twist my arm, but my concern was that I wasn't going to be able to create anything nearly as nice as their awesome customs, which are some of my favorites on PCF. Eventually, as with all things chipping, I succumbed to their wishes.
I needed a theme, and quickly settled on science, which has always been an interest of mine. I wanted something a little out of the box and as interesting as science is to me. I wanted each of the denominations to represent a different scientific principle, phenomenon, or discovery, and @Perthmike suggested that the base colors and spots could be chosen to physically represent those concepts. Challenge accepted!
I bounced a ton of mockups off of @Perthmike, @detroitdad, and @Rhodeman77 (to be completely accurate, @Perthmike also created a ton of them but he can't help himself). And @p5woody did a great job with the inlay design. I appreciate all of their help. For the inlay, I wanted a parchment paper/Da Vinci sketch feel, and after a while came to the conclusion that I was going to need original artwork to accomplish that objective.
Fortunately, my brother in law was a video game artist, so he is used to creating detailed art in a very small area. I worked with him for several weeks on the artwork, and I'm thrilled with what he created!
Now, on to the pr0n! I hope you enjoy!
The Line Up:
$1, electricity (represented by Tesla Coil)
$5, nuclear energy (represented by atomic bomb)
$25, Newton's laws of motion (represented by apple tree)
$100, Black Hole
$500, DNASome of you have already asked me about sample sets. I expect I will have a few available once I sort through everything. Stay tuned!

Maybe down the road. No immediate plans.
I agree, we need more pr0n of this set in play!Are you totally loving your set, now that you've had it a while? THEY ARE SO AWESOME!
Personally, I’d say these are waaaay nicer than that Big Top set you have @Hornet!
Really though, I can see this doing very well in future HoF voting.
love it, congrats!

I absolutely love them Mel! I was a little concerned about how the inlays would look in person, but they turned out great. I have a strong bias for Paulson and TRK a over CPC, but these are now my favorites!Are you totally loving your set, now that you've had it a while? THEY ARE SO AWESOME!

Nice set. I like the hand drawn inlays the best (and the parchment / vellum look).

Fantastic set!
May I ask, have you had any problems with split spots?

Thanks! No real issues with split spots, although there are a handful of error chips and weird looking spots. It gives the set a little bit of character and a personal touch imo.

My plan right now is to do a charity auction of a sample set once I get through the set and figure out how many extras I have. Then I may have a few extra sample sets to offer up.Sooooo, sample set when?

Doooooooo ittttttttt. >:]
Got a chance to play with this set at the recent meet up two different times, what an amazing set. $5s are the star of the show and the inlays are absolutely fantastic.

This set is incredible. Truly inspired to see the marriage of my two favorite things. Hope to own something like it one day. Life goals! Maybe even a table to match! Great job, thanks for sharing!
