You're going to be hard pressed to find a $2 chip. If you want those denoms and you are looking at paulsons, I'd recommend just putting together a custom set of ASM's.

I have a suggestion. If the whole set doesn't have to match, you could go to a casino & buy the $1's and $2's @ face value from the cage @ the casino of your choice. Then get some PNY $5's and 25's off ebay. $10's may not be so easy to find, but if you're patient...

Authentic casino $2s are very common. You might even be able to find some retired chips for less than face value, but they'll be in very used condition.

If you're looking for (new) home chips in the $1/chip range, the only sets with $2s that I can think of off the top of my head are all the lines from Sidepot.com (InPlay clay, Archetype ceramic, and $2 Protege's are in the works; expect to see them by 3rd quarter 2009 ).

If you're making a single table set, these might work:

He doesn't have many left, but the price is hard to beat. They're real compression-molded clay (similar to Paulsons, but slightly harder and lighter) made by Blue Chip Company (owned by the founding family of Paul-Son chips - the Endy's). You'll be hard-pressed to beat that price, and Michael (the owner of HoldemPokerChips) might even give you a deal if you buy all of them or something... (you'd have to ask; I'm only speculating).

Sorry to dominate your thread, but I just remembered that, if you really like Paulsons and don't need the denoms on the chips, you can get non-denominated hot-stamped chips from Apachepokerchips.com. I'm not sure if they "pre-buy" sale is still on or not, but you could always ask (or try ordering at that price):

(oops; it appears the pre-buy sale just ended...)

If you're not dead set on getting Paulsons you may want to consider Desert Palms chips from The Chip Room (check Jim's marketplace forum). This set has all the denoms that you want. Just make sure you get the compression molded Blue Chip set. The injection molded version is cheap but it sucks.

Sonny's (closed casino in Washington) are made by Paulson (UV security tag and all) and come in $1, $2, $3, $5, and $25 for sure...
