Silver poker chips - question

[barrytrot]

I had the idea of having a neat silver poker chip set created.

But I wanted to have the chips NOT be "pure silver".

The reason being is that I thought it would be neat to assign a value to each chip that was just slightly higher than my acquisition price for the chip. Also, I assume that pure silver would be less rigorous and wouldn't last as long.

In other words, the $10 chip might have only $5 in silver since that would probably cost me $5 plus something plus shipping plus labor plus creation of the die. Something like that.


Anyway the question: Can this be done by anyone here or anywhere? Naturally I know that I will pay fees and for the die creation.

It doesn't have to be 50% silver. Just some silver and some copper or something else (strong material, of course). I would like it to be consistent. I.e. each would be the same X% silver.

I would like the chips to be round if possible also. I don't know if that complicates things.

Why don't use just use Casino chips that have a half ounce of silver in them? They make them in all sorts of denominations!

Because I'm an ego maniac

I wanted them branded to me and my game.

hmmm if i wasnt already buried in projects i would do it
i make coins now and then for the different renactment & LARP groups around here
usualy i cast them in pewter, aluminum, and i've done silver a couple times but usualy they dont want to pay the price.

if you dont mind what all would you want on them?

That sounds like a great idea. Might like some too.
