    Default Maybeeeeee .... a coticule?

    Thoughts?

    I just couldn't stop looking at the brown underneath.
    The age is good (old as hell)
    Based on all the dried slurry I would say it is soft-ish.
    Plus it is really dished, which should be wrong for Arkansas which is hard.(er)

    I was gonna buy a lottery ticket, then saw this.

    I really can't tell from the photos, but I can't rule it out either.

    Holy cupping batman!

    Hope it turns out to be a coticule that can be salvaged! If so, great price for a huge coticule!

    I almost bid on it too, but after studying the poor photos for a spell, decided the odds were against it being a coticule. But, like a 50 to 1 odds horse winning a race, it happens. So good luck and please post pics after you get it cleaned up!

    Could be. It has a hint of correct colouring & the extent of dishing suggests it may be a natural. For that money it's worth taking the chance. When you're lapping it you should save the slurry. It'll keep you & your descendants going for generations!
