| Re: St. Jo's after lot's of work
I tried cleaning 5 of the $25 used St. Jo's I just got in powder Tide and water, with a toothbrush. 90% of the foil comes off easily after 10-15 seconds of brushing, but it's hard to get the remaining 10% off. Also the red inlay looks dull afterwards, I think a thin sheet of foil is making it look dull.
The dirt is tougher to get off, guess I'll have to read up on removing dirt.
To be honest I think the $25s are the least attractive - the green is a little dull, and the edge spots aren't great.
As for their used condition, I'm a noob to Casino chips, but maybe 1 in 10 have little chips/nicks missing from the edge. They look well used to me, they don't feel anything like new Paulson Pharaoh's for example, much smoother and with smooth edges. |
