manddrakes Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I feel the marble has been polished and or a really well done new handmade. Your thoughts? here's the link. Note: sellers feedback has a buyer saying polished with no pontil...... Would say one unhappy buyer there! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=300290495264 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIRE81 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Looks like a Contemporary or MAYBE a Remelt. Not a Vintage Mint Guinea. RAR....FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manddrakes Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Here's the respond I got from the buyer of the marble when asking for seams. Seller responds: This guinea has no seams that I can see,if you do the research you will find that not all guinea are seamed and this one is of rare since it is real 15/16 real. Thankyou for your concern to this marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 15/16????? I've never heard of a CAC guinea in that size. I do remember seeing a couple that size offered on ebay recently and thought "no way". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Oh, I looked it up. The 2 guineas I saw offered in 15/16" size were listed by "dvldog2323". Now I've gotta go see if anyone bit for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Oh dear.

SplattmanSS Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'm not familiar with a remelt or torch-made marble to give an opinion, but I think I see what maybe some kind of a seam line? The distortion I see with my eyes has me wondering?? I can say with confidence that at least it isn't machine polished....The light reflections in the picture show's the marble isn't a perfect spherical shape... Just my 2~1/2 cents........
