Though not quite the same thing, these probably belong in the conversation. As far as I know, these were only produced in $1 and $5 denoms, and only for this casino. I had put together a barrel, and believe me, they are VERY cool.

Windwalker’s Chipping Journey in Pr0n0grAph1C Detail (18 Viewers)

The Garden City brass metal inlay set. In search of the elusive $20 or $25 to make the set playable, which it barely is now, given the single rack of $20s, in worse condition than the rest of the set.
My ears after hearing these chips being shuffled for only 2 minutes:
Metal inlay Paulsons were not popular. The only ones I ever had were a handful of $1s from a Texas card room, I think from the late 70's. The metal part is not very thick, and I don’t think it's a solid piece through the center of a chip (more like one thin plate on each side).

Continuing along the design journey for my PCF-stakes ($0.25/$0.50 and $1/$2) chipset using a combination of unleaded NAGB chips, here is the semi-final lineup. Decided that a $25 is a better choice than a $20.
For reference, here is what I started with. The primary comment was that the hundo wasn’t as exciting as the rest of the set.
This semi-final iteration replaces the brown $20 with a blurple $25, and uses a bearclaw hundo instead.
The final set will have the following breakdown, should be good enough for most PCF games, total bank of $17,350.
200 x $0.25
300 x $1
400 x $5
200 x $25
100 x $100

Hundo is infinitely better than the previous one, and the dream fantasy chip for that denom. $25 is a great replacement and better fit as well. Praying I find an appropriate rack of Radiant Red’s to use as my frac before you have that realization yourself. Not sure whether that’s just a test label or the actual label you’re using here but I love it!Continuing along the design journey for my PCF-stakes ($0.25/$0.50 and $1/$2) chipset using a combination of unleaded NAGB chips, here is the semi-final lineup.

have you tried a mock-up with a different $1? Im a fan of the different spot patterns but the 1 and the 5 feel like the same spot pattern to me.Continuing along the design journey for my PCF-stakes ($0.25/$0.50 and $1/$2) chipset using a combination of unleaded NAGB chips, here is the semi-final lineup.

how about with the chicken $5 as your $5?

Chicken Coop 25¢ is slept on hard. May not be the best frac to pair with your current $5 but might be worth looking at, just in case. That chip deserves a moment in the sun!

Yes, that score is unbelievable.Just like you did a few years ago with the old dude from Delaware who designed all those boat chips you have. Nothing wrong with that in my eyes…except the fact that you scored that big and didn’t share pictures

I like the new version of this a lot. Never saw my $1 as a cali hundo but it works great. For me, the entire lineup changes on that $25 though. You couldn’t mix and match the $25 from one lineup to the hundo with the next, and they each compliment the other high denom chip well in your mock-ups, but that Blurple $25 is a winner hands down.

I have. This is the only other $1 that made sense to me. I also wanted to stick with a traditional cali yellow $5.

This $1 just makes the entire lineup feel cleaner with the white edgespots.

I didn’t have the patience to reshoot, so I blended the 2 photos together in Photoshop, which is probably why the barrel of blurples looks a bit off, but it conveys the sentiment, I think.

^ love this ship it
Agreed this is the best yet, great line up, the $5 is a great chip and 4D18 shines way more like this
I’d go simpler. Cdi or Paris. Though I agree with bergs. That flv does have a really clean feel to it.

^ love big denom oversized flag chips. Someday (sigh)
This one would get my vote. I’m not a Cali colors guy, but we have a crossover point with a blurple $25 (or $20) that’s perfect. But man oh man, the white hundo is just nails on the chalkboard to me.Continuing along the design journey for my PCF-stakes ($0.25/$0.50 and $1/$2) chipset using a combination of unleaded NAGB chips, here is the semi-final lineup.

As in that specific bearclaw chip? Or you just don’t like white hundos in general?
Yeah no, it’s the white. The spot pattern is perfect. But the white - It’s a polarized opinion - I wouldn’t expect to talk you out of it, I just feel the need to shout it out.
OP
OP
I’m ambivalent to whether white should be a hundo, but it’s the Cali way, I suppose.
Ironically, all the big games I play in LA prefer the black hundo and the yellow / orange $1k. White is usually the color given to the $5k.
Case in point, is my big-game set that I’m working on with @Gear .
I think Cali colors confuse most high stakes players.

What's Batman's greatest ability? When he takes the mask off, he's Bruce F*cking Wayne. With great power (every chip ever), comes great responsibility. Can you do what needs to be done, and sacrifice the lives of 200 Giraffe's? Find out ne.....

most likely used to Vegas (Bellagio/Aria) colours
Colors can be confusing! I was recently playing in a .25/.50 game with Cali color chips. The game was aggressive, but this one hand in the blinds it actually limped around to me, and I had squeezing cards, so I meant to raise to $12, but somehow, those yellow fives confused me and I made it $21. I have no excuse or explanation, but I know if those fives were red, that wouldn’t have happened.

Ahhhh, the horror of the thought. My absolute favorite $1 chip. Sentimental, because it’s the first set I went after like my life depended on it.
