NYs weight question.

Are the $1s and $5s lighter than the other denoms? They sure feel like it. It's the brass flakes, huh?

I too thought the NY'ers were a bit lighter. I think JM has actually weighed them though and may weigh in on this later.

No pun intended, right?

$1 - 10.083g
$2.50 - 9.210g
$5 - 8.424g
$20 - 9.396g
$25 - 9.250g
$100 - 8.843g
$500 - 9.615g
and the big boy $1000 - 10.456g (not much more than the $1 chip!)

They are all pretty darn heavy when they are in big FedEx boxes.

Those look like my numbers (and my comment about the big boy)!

Yeah, the $1s are heavy suckers. And the 100s are noticably lighter in comparison. I picked up a rack (box) of each yesterday and thought the lighter box was missing some chips. This reminds me, I have to weigh the secondary versions on that same scale for reference.

Yeah, I grabbed them from a post by someone else that didn't credit the source. Didn't know who came up with the numbers originally.

Yeah, that was mine. I have access to precision balances here at work so I threw them all on there one nite to see how they measured up. Maybe I can do the secondaries tomorrow nite before my game, since I'll have chips with me.

Are you doing these measurements with one chip or stacks of 10 each then averaged?
I'd be interested in seeing some side by sides of the Vineyards and Bonds, as well as the ASM Palmas too. It would especially be interesting to see how the old Palmas stack up to the home use ASM group buy chips too.

I'm doing single chip and zeroing again between each measurement.
