I am getting a die design done by kmalsom for a classic looking Suicide King. The original plan is for a non denom, but if enough people are interested, could possibly do denoms. The non denom would be done first though.

These would be done by Bluechip which is not up for discussion. They have the most experience and the chips I am getting done need to be scraped. They did an excellent job on the TRK Kings Crown chips that I bought from another CT member and I want them to do these.

We would need 3 more people if it's just a non denom.

Final draft of hotstamp design:




I figure many will be interested in getting the King stamp on one side and amounts on the other. Examples of some of the popular dies BCC has:

First mock up:




Text: I haven't decided about the text. Could either have no text, or Suicide King on top and Club on bottom which would give more room for art.

Just a couple FYI'a for everyone:
1. This design will need to be simplified at this size. (too much detail)
2. It is being designed to fit on a 7/8" inlay.

Latest revision:


I'm leaning towards #2 or 3 on the top row.

Even if someone isn't interested, I'd like to hear suggestions.

Do you know how much the Die will cost? Also how many chips will you allowed to be stamped?

I also am interested, depending on the details.

The die will cost $100. You can stamp as many as you want, until the die is worn out.

Anyone know the average life of a die? I'm thinking around 20K chips?

I'm getting around 1000 done.

I think it would look good without text, but still needs something subtle around the edges, just as a border. Maybe the suits?

It should be small to allow more room for the King.

For some reason, reading this thread made me think of that Queen song: "Don't try suicide."

I like all the designs. The image of the king alone is great, but text can help soften the transition from the image to the chip edge. Maybe trying a different font could help.
