What are these chips... Mermaid and Bull Mold? (2 Viewers)

[Mr. Cheese]

I see a guy on CL that has 4000 chips for sale for 500 bucks. He sent me a few more pictures and some of them are Paulson Starburst and others I'm not sure what they are. Mermaid mold for some of them and maybe a bull or something for some?

Thoughts?

Unicorn mold actually, and yeah, think the other one is called a mermaid mold.

Here's a link to the Eisenstadt site with a description of the mold designs

Both molds are stated as "recent." The mermaid mold says it is owned by RT Plastics and these chips are injection molded. I am picturing a similar feel to "faux clay" and/or "super diamonds."

Chipcos used to sell the unicorns. That mold is still used by some casinos for low-end, NCV, or promotional chips. It is heavier and handles better than the mermaid mold, which is essentially a light plastic to the tune of super diamonds.

There’s also the Dragon mold, which feels the same as the Mermaid mold.

Based on all this definitely passing. He said there weren't very many Paulson chips either
