I've had several chip dealers who have worked with silver strikes complain about the weight of handling them, so they do not sell them.
So, how much does a slabbed chip weigh?
I am guessing that each silver strike encapsulated in it's holder weighs about 1.5 oz. Strike alone weighs approximately 1.2 oz.
With the weight of tokens being a consideration for chip dealers who have decided not to sell them, if the weight of a slabbed chip comes close I just wonder how many dealers will be willing to carry them from show to show.
Not to mention that a slabbed casino chip is much larger than a normal encapsulated silver strike, in its holder. This makes a slabbed chip take up more space, which may mean that the dealer bring less product to a show.
