Is it expected that all Paulson home chips will be issued on the new mold? I'd like to see the denom Pharaoh's and maybe the JB's on that mold.

The new batch of denominated Pharaoh's is on the old mold. Only the new non-denominated Pharaoh's are on the new mold. Ten mentioned this in an earlier thread.

Yes the suits Pharaoh NCV mold is very nice in my opinion

I am one of the few people who actually likes the old mold.

I think the old mold looks SWEET for the denominated Pharoah's. I also the think the new mold kicks a$$ on the Private Cardrooms.

I am in the minority as well. I actually prefer the old mold to the new mold. The new mold is just too busy for me.

I don't like the new mold (suits) because I don't like clay chips with a thin outer rim. They chip too easily and magnify any off-center mold problems when compressing the chips (the outer rim being wider on one side of the chip).

Good point, I never thought of that.

Cripes! I never thought of that either.
The thin outer rim of the NEW mold chips may be more prone to chipping off.
I wonder if anybody has seen that occur with the NEW mold chips yet.

Have you seen this actually happening? I wonder if this is an inherant design flaw as all the classic H&C Paulsons were all made this way. There are untold hundreds of thousands maybe even millions of chips made with the outer ring like that. I have two large full sets from Obsolete casinos like that and I don't see 1 chip in 1600 that remotely resembles what I think you are talking about.

I would be interested in seeing pictures of what you are talking about. If these chips are falling apart and warped as much as everyone says Paulson's QC has really taken a nose dive. I only have 14 chips on the new mold. 7 of the H&C shaped inlays and 7 of the Private Card Room HS Chips. None of mine are falling apart and none are warped so I guess I don't have a good reference point to go by.
