Do you still have any of your original dice?
If so, how are they holding up?

I still have most of the set that came with my original copy of the Moldvay Basic set. Most of them are rounded pretty good. The D20 looks really bad.  I wouldn't game with any of them. My Crown Royal bag that I inherited from my Uncle David finally gave out a few years ago. He gave me a bunch of dice in the early 80s as well. Most of them were of much higher quality than those old cheap dice. |

Yep, my originals are also from the Moldvay Basic set. They're certainly chippy and rounded but I still break them out on occasion. One of my best friends passed during Covid and I inherited his originals as well. He had a particularly rounded yellow D20 from, I believe, the Expert set. I swear it was made from some kind of Saran Wrap as it's peeling!

I have a few of them: a bunch of wooden dice from a Yahtzee set when I first discovered RPGs, and a D20 that is now a D19 sphere from the time of the original white box.

My original dice from games back in the late 40s and 50s are all completely worn out. Some dice have been replaced several times.
