Guilty Pleasure: The "OMG I can't believe I bought that" edition

@ScarsdaleCoin mentioned this piece in a recent light side post and I thought it was the bees knees.

Usually modern gimmicky crap like this just makes me angry. But the iconic brand, the whimsy of a Coke bottle cap struck in pure silver, the humor of the reverse becoming an "actual" NCLT coin, and the Coke-red NGC insert just completely hooked me.

The whole package comes together really well. The metal Coke display box (with the clever pun on the iconic Coke logo: It's the real thing : pure silver, legal tender all in the modern Coke font) the COA, the outer box just makes a neat package.

I got this piece from MCM--who didn't make it clear that the OGP would accompany the coin. Because of that, I wavered about buying a slabbed piece. But the color of the insert was so fun and striking that I had to pony up the $90 for a 70 UCAM.

    That's pretty cool. NCLT is far from my thing, but I am still considering getting a Benin scratch n' sniff marijuana coin. Should make for an interesting conversation piece :)

    Highly enthusiastic about world coins, contemporary circulating counterfeits and unusual stuff <3

    I like it only because it's a Coca Cola cap.
