Fire1981 Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 If 2.5 I’d say $300 plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 If not polished I will more than double the $300.00. More valuable than a Latticino core. More than double the value as the same size and condition Latticino. Looks very very nice to be unpolished. I think it may have been polished. Looks like a moon on right side yellow bands, which half has been ground away and polished. Lots of these big boys out there ground and polished, but VERY few this size in this condition. If ground and polished about $50.00=$75.00 . Be careful, lots of difference in $75.00 or $1000.00 . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 It does look polished. The flea bite at 2:00 seems to show that the sharp edge of flea bite is gone which makes me think it was polished. FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel bad--fall in line. Live and learn as we all have done. Always check for pontils. It is a beauty! Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
