Recommended Posts

I was told in different groups that its a wonky Vitro helmet, and an Akro, and was also told it was dug up which one is true? Is there any value for a wonky dug marble? Im keeping it just curious about potential value of these kinds of marbles i love that strange ones footballs, cold rolls, butt cracks whatever u wanna call them I like errors I hunt them in coins as well.

Cull or error marbles have nearly zero value, they were dug by the thousands and discarded in the first place because they didn't make the grade. Generally the more flawless and mint the greater the value, rarity also plays a part in evaluation.

Roberto love your collection i dont care really if they have value to someone else I think their cool as hell and id buy them like people buy cutlet

 

 Thank you - I know people who go crazy over these mistakes.  I don't go crazy, but I like them, just as Chad says, for their historical value!

However, if they are prized marbles (we know which ones), or not prized, but that include unique and particular features, I think the value can rise quite a bit. Then, the matter can be subjective.

Some Cairo Novelty errors, from excavation, followed by Ravenswood and DAS
