difference between pharaohs and JBs

I was under the impression that these two chips were the same except for design. But the other day I read on a different forum where a guy was bashing JBs and praising the pharaohs. Saying their way different.

I got a little confused since I'm planning on buying the JBs. Can someone set this straight for me please?

read this. The pharaohs have the same mold as the top hat and cane mold on the right and obviously the james bonds are on the left. The only difference is the mold which also changes the feel and weight slightly.

I personally like the JB mold better. It reminds me more of an actual casino style mold.

Also see this Pharaoh review
And this James Bond review

If you click on the chip picture in the top left corner of each review you will be able to see a larger image and you can see the difference in the mold.

OK, thank you. I guess I should get a sample set from that mold as well before deciding then.

Also, if you're not in a hurry to get the chips I would buy these over either the Pharaohs or the James Bonds. Great price that will never be beat. During the pre-buy they are .90 each. Later they will be at least 10-20 cents more per chip. Get them while you can as they have freakin shaped Inlays !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not really in any rush to get the chips. My plan was to buy them from apache and have seem sent to my Vegas hotel room ( I'm going there next summer/fall).

Wow! those new ones are really stunning. This is getting difficult. Every time I think I have decided on which ones to get something equally or more interesting emerges

And everytime you get a new set another appealing set will come out a week later. Also make sure you look around here in the Member to Member sales area to see if anyone is selling what your looking for before you buy retail. You can find good deals and save $$
