Which progression is cooler?

[smoore]

Tournament progression, 25,100,500,2500,10k. Blue is bounty.



1) (grey is 10k)






2) (silver is 10k)





Here is the thread with my breakdown.

I voted 5 chips.

I like the idea of having plates for high denoms but I'm not sure about the silver ones... but that's just me.

The choices of colors are cool. I like it!

Silver dude. That's a unique idea. 500th POST WAHOOOOO!!!!!

[Bano]

I like option 1 for everyday use.

Option 2 would be nice every once in a while for the dramatic effect.

I'm not particularly hot on either of these progressions.

Are you going to actually pay to have metal plaques minted? Where did you see the piece you posted?

Heh, that's just a silver 1oz bar (as opposed to round, which is how it's usually delivered) by Englehard, the most famous of the mints. Go to your local coin shop and you can peruse any number of "brands". The shop I go to just has a grip of assorted infrequent bars among many rounds in a bigass box and I've gotten a few bars because I thought they were cool. Normally I just buy the rounds, I figure everyone can recognize the value of a silver-dollar size piece of silver.

I'm hedging against inflation with metal. Pretty common working-man's saving plan in economic times like these. I have them "around" so I could just plop a few in the ol' tournament setup and be good.

What would you change about the progressions? What really drove me towards something like this is the easy availability of the solid chips, along with some edgespots in the higher denoms. I'd supposedly order the higher denoms in 100+ quantity, while the solids can be ordered in weird, small quantities.

Edit: five chips is winning by a landslide... I guess I should have figured that but I agree, the colors are just better for one thing. thanks all.

I made this progression recently (I have a lot of free time).



If I was going to get ASMs and wait 5 months for chips, I'd definitely get 2-tone inserts.

[HanahanStan]

I voted 2 ,it's nice to see something a little different and away from the norm. Great idea by the way.

[MadeInDetroit]

I voted 1....GL.

[Minok]

Maybe its me, but I"m seeing:

Option 1: 6 chips (or is it seven)
Option 2: 5 chips plus silver.

The silver is a cool idea, but is it wise? Unless its a cash game... there is a certain temptation to walk out with those find silver pieces.
