Regarding the 16 hrs total time...I will not do be doing anything like that again!!!

I just did a simple test to decide once and for all if the horsehead does have a recessed center. By simple pressing down on the chip and rubbing it along a super-fine grit sandpaper (or slightly rough surface) you'll see that there is wear along the outside edge, all the way to the concentric circle closest to the center, but no further. It seems I was wrong. 1" of pure label goodness... Fins was right, I must've been thinking about something else.

These look absolutely great. With time and effort, it really shows that you can compare to the full inlays with a lot of research on materials used and choosing the right product.
These are by far the best labeled chips I've seen. ( though I've only seen what has been presented on the 'net. ) You should be proud of your attention to detail.

Grey = 25
Pink = 100
Imperial Blue = 500
Orange = 1000
Purple/Grey = Non denom
Also, no spinners to report so far. I don't expect to find any as these labels are super thin

It's really the idea situation.

So Ky70, just to verify: you did oil those chips, right? Because your oranges and pinks look WAY better than mine (which still look a bit dusty and pale, even though I've wiped them down). If so, did you oil the whole chips, or just the edges?
Thanks!
