Updated my guide with your peach chip. Might use more when I switch to resource but I am maxed out on pictures right now in the OP thread.

I wrote the damn guides but I honestly can't remember if we the community were aware this was the mold on the these 25k RFID chips.

Is there a precedent for a four top hat and cane mold?
 
Also a request. If someone got 2 of the same RFID chips can you take a single picture for me like this showing the front and edge:

But obviously with the same chip. Would need the 25K, 500K, and 1M (and the 100K if you know something I don’t).

I've only seen the four-hat mold in a manufacturer sample chip for the "intricate edge inserts" from Paulson. Clearly, these are the RFID chips without saying so as the promo.

[EDIT - this is a 39mm chip, so effectively the 25k chip here.
 
Ben is dumb update #498.

My future plan is to turn all of my WSOP guides into resources instead of posts. The primary reason is because I can add more images/functionality in resources compared to posts. The secondary reason is because @Tommy has been yelling at me to do this since 2017.

I started writing the resource for this guide today that a few of you may have seen. Unfortunately it has been awhile since I did updates and I am slowly remembering that I am way behind. Apparently I never archived 2021. I started the resource today on a whim thinking I could spit it out quickly only to be reminded of this fact and started to scramble. My plan is to finish the 2021 research and have everything ready by next weekend. I am posting this to force myself to commit to that.

1) Everything said in the resource that contradicts this OP is correct. Trust the resource over this thread.
2) The resource will be incomplete for a little bit until I can collect all of my missing data. I will post my full data once complete.
3) Once I complete the resource, I will scrub the OP here and link to the resource so I only need to maintain the info in one place.
4) I will do this for all of my Rio/Binions WSOP posts in the near future.

Also, I have been questioning myself lately over whether the RFID chips are actually RFID chips or not. I honestly can't remember if this was an assumption on my part or if that was ever confirmed. I plan to do some research but if anyone has any info about them being actual RFID chips that would be useful to me.

Also also, if you bought multiples of the "RFID" chips see above for pic requests.
 
I think for a lot of us who came into poker in the mid-2000s, this set is the WSOP set.
Such an iconic, definitive set. Which is why it's so funny they made such a misstep the first year with the peach 25k and the pink 50k. Now we can look back at that with intrigue as a chapter in the set's history.

Eventually I'm gonna have a tribute set made of this set, and I'll include the pink 50k along with a charcoal-and-gold 10k mimicking the 2005-6 set. The intention being to use either the 10k-50k progression or the 25k-100k.
 
Not sure if that’s good enough. I will try again later with a light on them.

How the hell? I thought these chips were all destroyed by law. How'd you manage to Oceans-11 those out of there?
