Which $25 to put in this set? (1 Viewer)

[MattyA]

I am using mostly Jumer’s to do a custom cash set whereby the inlay will be replaced or over-labeled (haven’t decided which…thoughts on that choice appreciated btw).

I have the $1’s and $5’s and $100’s procured. All are in outstanding condition. However, the Jumer’s $25’s I have are really beaten up and I haven’t found any that are in truly outstanding condition. There seem to be a lot of secondaries in mint condition but I really don’t like the look of those.

So I have 3 other options, all pictured below (I am a terrible photographer so did in 3 different light conditions). I’m inclined to go with the cinci horseshoe because the green is brighter and more similar to the Jumer’s primary. The Lucky Lady is my favorite but I have owned them for about 3 years and like using them in my mixed cash set and don’t want to destroy them by turning them into a custom…unless someone has a compelling reason to do that.

Thoughts?

The Cleveland Horseshoe $25 fits the edge spots of the $5 and $100 very well. I have always liked the edge spot colors of it as well.

either Horseshoe would work IMO but I prefer the Cincy base color and spot pattern.
Although, I will agree with @Rhodeman77 that the yellow spot in the Clev is sweet and no yellow in that set thus far.

I just put that one in for reference. I like it too but unless I can find 2 racks of them mint or close to that condition then it’s a no-go.

Good point on the yellow. And overall, yeah the pattern on the Cleveland is better. But the base color being dark green might be the deal-killer for me. I’m quite torn on this.

I owned a Lady Luck set for about a week, and I can never remember if it’s Lady Luck or Lucky Lady. I feel better know youve owned yours for years, you JUST took a picture of one, and you still can’t get it right.

I’d suggest over-labeling because it’s easier, cheaper, your chips will retain better value, and honestly it looks better. When you remove inlays, you usually end up with a double-recess that is unnoticeable to the casual observer but sloppy looking to the trained eye.
Just 2 cents from a staunch anti-inlay removal freak. Good luck!

These? About the only thing I like about them is ease of acquisition. Personal taste I guess!

Cincinnati

I’d stick with the Jumers $25. The Cincinnati is far more advanced than the Jumers $1 and $5.

The yellow on the Cleveland is like strawberry sauce on two scoops of pralines n cream - why do that? Don’t do that.

If you can’t find the Jumers $25, go with the Lucky Lady Luck $25.

Or….

One word is all you need to know.

INTERLOCKING!!!

These are very good points. Maybe I do the Cinci chip and keep my eye out for the Jumer's.

The Cincy $25 is a good chip. You shouldn’t have any issues selling them if you find the others.
