I really like these chips( Chipco Classics) and I am thinking of buying a 650 chip set. The chips all look good but I was wondering how close in appearance the $50 and $1000 chip are? On my computer screen they look almost the same.

Just out of curiosity - why would you be getting both?

We like to use 25 50 100 500 1000 in our games. The sets that we use all have 5 colors with no denominations on them so I want to buy a set that we could easily use with out changing things. I may change my mind but for now Im looking at getting all the denominations that I listed.

I have noticed that most Chipco chips have a $50 chip and most clays dont........I wonder why?

A $50 chip is somewhat redundant, that's why you won't find it in casinos. You would have more versatility getting more 25s and 100s in place of the 50s. And someone had brought up the issue that some Native American gaming establishments view the denomination to be 'unlucky'.

Similarly, it was brought to my attention some time ago that the number 4 is unlucky or a symbol of death in some Asian cultures. And since many casinos attract a large number of patrons of Asian descent, most do not have $4 chips (though I did find that Binions, and the Horseshoe before them, does and did have $4 chips.)

The $50 is almost lavender and the $1000 is pink. They are not very close. But it seems a little silly to have a $50 when you have a $25 and $100.

Then so would the 500 when you have a 100 & 1000.

This is like the blue vs white $1 arguement. If you want a $50 chip, get it. Just because its not commonly seen in casinos doesn't mean its wrong.

The 500 isn't the problem, the 1000 is the problem. See this thread:

$2500 does not make any sense. Are you going to raise $2500 or $7500??
