I am a collector of high-quality dice sets - usually enameled die. I supply the dice sets at my games due to the fact I don't want players bringing hard to read or clear dice sets. I always admired metal dice sets but they are usually pricy. For metal dice, these had an awesome price, were super easy to read and quite sturdy. I would only roll these dice into a dice tray and not onto a hard surface due to the fact that the dice my get marred or (more likely) the surface would. These dice are quite hefty. I have seen lots of ornate metal dice, but just like clear enameled dice, they are not easy to ready. These are beautiful, practical dice sized to match other standard 7-dice plastic sets.
