WTF!!??!! I agree that Nevada Jack ghosh chip is sweet but how in hell does that happen?

#2 A $5 chip. This is the worst from my two sample sets, in terms of inlay quality. It also has an "extra" spot. I have no real problem with this chip, and wouldn't mind at all using it in a game.


#3 The "flash" I was talking about. This extra material at the corner of the chip makes shuffling even harder than the usual square corners of new clay chips. I doubt this would take very long to wear away as the chips get broken in (or it could be easily removed). I just wanted to get a picture of it while it was new.




#4 The "Nevada" mold ghost on a $500 chip. This puppy is a collector's item for me. I like it.

The chips were prepped using the Nevada mold, then finished with the "T" mold.

(Ive also got a C&S anomaly as well )

Here's the weights and sizes of my two sample sets:

25cent: 10.15gm, 39.8mm; 9.8gm, 39.8mm
$1: 9.62gm, 9.53 gm
$5: 9.52gm, 9.7gm
$25: 9.42gm, 9.53gm
$100: 9.47gm, 9.51gm
$500: 9.56gm, 9.75gm
$1000: 9.21gm, 9.46gm
$5000: 9.7gm, 9.47gm

The diameters run from 39.69 to 39.82 mm, with chips typically round within .02mm. (That's a range of about 0.005", a bit smaller than the width of a human hair.)

And that Nevada mold you have is amazing. much deeper imprint than any of mine....

I beg to differ... I don't think these pics are anywhere near as good as yours, but thanks for the compliment and encouragement anyhow. The originals of these are 2400 to 2900 pixels diameter, though, so if anybody wants to make a poster-sized print of them, let me know and I'll make the high res files available.

Boon,
I can indeed see the "Nevada" in one of your pics, but it does look much more shallow than the sample I showed. (And no --- you can't have mine )
