Just some things that I will share after about four hours of study.

This one is small—a good tell. It is a hair under 9/16”.
Gladly I did not buy it ---for it. It came with some rather nice 1 inch Akros.
See the little white marks—I soaked this one in Lacquer thinner for awhile then scrubbed it with a toothbrush. I wanted it to be real but I always have to test my instincts. 
The white marks are the remnants of polishing compound. The thing was with this one—there were little white marks buried under the glass surface.
The natural blow outs show a bit of weird wear around the edges—they should be smooth.
It was at the very least- buffed, more than likely a great polish job.
Imho—it was a great CAC marble—even with damage—now—it just sucks imho.
Sling-shot ammo. ( I will save it for future reference)
I just hate any polished machine made marbles—just really hate them.
Marble—On!!

I feel your pain.  

Good lesson.

Is it a polished Cac though?  Reminds me of some busy alleys from the salesman case

[schmoozer]

This is typical of polished mibs, I always look for sharp edges on blowouts.

It looks CAC to me too, Art, and I agree, polishing really messed up the pattern. I too can't believe it looks better now than it did with a little damage.

could be polished, but it also not unlike some cullet marbles i've seen.

Good point - seems pretty small for a cullet marble though, at least to me.
