Need to get ideas for chip breakdown on the colors I have

I have some very hard to get clay chips and they do not have any denomination on them currently.
I am going to have them hotstamped or inlays done.
I need suggestions as to what denominations to use for each chip.

I have about 190 green
190 blue
125 black
100 grey
What are your suggestions?

For cash or tournament? If it’s for tourney, you could do a T-5,000 for 19 people:

Green $25
Blue $100
Black $500
Grey $1,000

Issue each 8 x $25; 8 x $100; 4 x $500; 2 x $1,000
That leaves plenty left to color up as well.

I was trying to see if there was a way to keep traditional colors as much as possible.
If I do what you suggest then I am changing the $100 and $500 traditional colors but I have not figured out a better way without doing so.
Thank you,
Roland

You could stay closer to traditional colors/values if you went with green $25, blue $50, black $100, gray $500. That’s enough for a T-3000 for 19 people, but you would have to use some gray chips when you color up to black, and would be short a few gray chips on the final color up.

Green $25 x 10
Blue $50 x 5
Black $100 x 5
Gray $500 x 4

Having a $50 in play is really inefficient, but it’s still a playable set.
