Trying to find the right $100 chip (1 Viewer)

[crussader]

I am trying to pick a $100 chip to go with this lineup..

The plan is to relabel the chips as a tribute chip to this...

The closest thing out there seems to be this....

My main concern with the Aztars though, is that they may be a bit too bright. The set has a very pastel feel to it, and I don't want the $100s to overpower the rest of the set. Maybe that's not a concern???

For now I'm giving this a try....

These seem to fit the set well, but I'm not sure how they will look relabeled as Excaliburs.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Grand Casino Hinkley $100s.

EP looks awesome in there!!

A charcoal $100 would fit well with this pallet you have going. If there is such a thing.

I like those. I haven't seen them before, so I'm guessing it would be hard to find them in quantity. Eventually I would like to have a couple of racks of hundos.

I had looked at these, but a charcoal chip would be even better if one exists.

Actually, I just remembered the ESP T100s are a charcoal shade but those spots are way too bright.

Casino de Mexico $100s are Showboat Grey -- the color is in-between standard Grey and Charcoal, it has a similar spot pattern to the Excaliber/Aztar chips, and is a lot easier to find than any of the others.

And same as CDI98 100s too (except Charcoal)

 

[crussader]

I considered the CDI but am not fond of the spot colors. The orange is a bit too orange for my taste and the chocolate spots get lost. For a cheaper alternative I am seriously looking at the Scandia $100s.

how about the st JO frontier

The Casino de Mexico looks like an interesting possibility. I wish it were a little darker but I may have to get a sample to try.

Grand Vics'

I do like that chip. Ten years ago they were all over the place. Might be tough to find them in quantity now.

Since all your other chips have 1/8 spots, I wouldn't put something with 1/4 spots if I was building a set like that. The EPs look pretty good to me!

 

[crussader]

No Grand Vic's. Staying away from RHC unless it's a perfect match otherwise.

Do those emojis mean you're sitting on a stash of them?

Here are the options I have been looking at...

That's part of the debate I'm having with myself. Accuracy of the tribute chip versus what blends best with the set.

 

[Mangatang]

Do you actually have a game where $0.05 and $100 chips are on the same table?

 

[crussader]

No. Why do you ask?

Most of these are out there in quantity, except the Gulfport $100. I believe there’s less than 1 rack left in existence.

 

[crussader]

..except the Gulfport $100....

Of course those would be impossible to find, because that would probably be the best match. 1/8 spots with colors matching the Excal chip.

The Empress is pretty close to it.

Dibs on any Gulfport $100s.

Palm Beach Cruise Line (4V 418). Unless it's ultra rare and expensive - I don't know; or not mint ( I guess the rest in your set are mint / near mint).
Empress Joliettes are also beautiful, but I don't know if they can be found easily in mint/near-mint condition.
PCA secondaries are ultra-fine and mint; expensive also.

Condition availability and price do come into play.
