I had to post this, an outstanding example of what a basic Pelt NLR can be, an av soaked beauty !! I've seen nothing but top shelf well identified mibs from this seller, may be adding them to our "reputable Sellers" list ??

The "Yeah Buddy" Kermit dance

Agreed 100% I to am "slag & swirl impaired"

X2, agree w/ Josh I see mostly Jabo, the remainder may be some form of W.Va. swirl, the ashtray isn't bad either

Between 29/32nds and one inch ?? It's probably or appears to be an Atmosphere anyway, anxious to see it after you get your hands on it !! "nice mib" the colors remind me of a CAC cobra

Hmm !! Never seen an antique peppermint swirl with 5 red candy stripes ?? Not saying they don't exist "but" ??? I'm gonna say "contemporary"

Mine to, I just repost and try to name a few

"Happy MK Monday" Blended Spiderman

It does resemble an Atmosphere, do you know the size ??

Excellent Mib !!

"Tricky"

Faceting resembles the facets on a gemstone (thus the word faceting) usually way les but still faceted. There are 3 types of terminations to where the cane was cut or (terminated) while forming the marble. "Faceted" i.e. the oldest type : melted pigtail : & unfinished. Faceting was accomplished by "grinding" the end down, creating the familiar "flat spots" of "faceting" Melted pigtail, sometimes the pigtail is so obliterated (melted) that it will be barely visible. Faceted : not a very good pic but the best In could come up with, you can see one of the "facets" visible near the upper center right hand side. I don't know how good you screen is but a few other facets are visible to me in this pic. Both ends are "unfinished" on this Joseph Coat, I estimate the manufacture date my handmades using this, that and the colors are usually far brighter on the latter. Faceting was mostly done away with by 1870-1880, the higher demand for "gameboard" marbles in the late Victorian era made for much smaller sizes and the quicker production method of the unfinished ends. Faceted on one end and a melted pigtail on the other usually indicates a manufacture date of between 1850-1870 or thereabouts. Later manufacture (1870-1910,15) usually showed a great reduction in size along both ends being unfinished (quicker production) & brighter colors, these marbles were also often called English, though they were produced in Germany for the "English" gameboard market.

Great post Chris, a much needed piece of marble history
