They are similar to the other styles. It's your preference on what style of chip u want.

i have played with the dice / suited / diamond chips and they felt pretty cheap to me.

do these chips have more of a clay feeling?

Sadly, i've been under the impression that if you want nice chips... you've gotta pay for em. What i mean is, you cant get a great quality chip for under .50 (they're usually around $1). Chipco, pokerchips.com, and some of the old Tophat and Cane paulson chips that are still floating around would be your best bet at snagging good chips.

If you really wanna see if the chips are good and u don't mind wrecking on of 'em. You get bolt cutters or metal shears and chop one in half. Most have a metal core surrounded by clay, a composite, and rarely plastic. Composite sometimes looks like plastic. If the chip is copletely solid (with no metal core) then it's a higher quality chip, being that it's clay not plastic.

Instead of cutting his chips open, can't he just use the magnet test? My buddy bought some chips that he swore had no insert. When I pulled out a magnet and it stuck right to it, the discussion was over.
