Coca Cola Silver...

Here's a 75th anniversary Coca-Cola ingot. I had heard these were collectible before I ever knew anything about rare silver.
I saw one from another state at an antique show and got to talking to the dealer about it and his $75 price tag on a single ounce of silver.
Fast forward a couple years and I saw one at a local shop here in town so I purchased it for $19.99.
I put it on ebay to see what would happen and it closed for $747.00 image
Apparently the Northwest versions of these ingots are extremely rare... so keep your eyes open.

    I collect Coca-Cola silver art bars but I have not bought one in a long while since they are much harder to find than 3-4 years ago. Even the most common Coca-Cola bars are harder to find than a few years ago and if I find one at one of the common Coca-Cola bars at one of the local dealers, then they will price them for ebay-like prices.

    DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a '70's silver art bar expert but I try my best to play one on the Internet.

    A blast from the past... I was lucky enough to find one other Mt. Hood ingot a couple years after posting this... around 2011 or so.
    I sold that sucker on ebay as well for over $800.

    I'm still hoping to find a 3rd one someday. image

    $800 for 1 oz and some people call others crazy for paying $60/oz for 5 oz Engelhards. Go figure (eyeroll)

    Good score on the CocaCola piece.

    Interesting to see where my error eagle ends. My max bid was in the $250 area when I bought it. Fortunately I picked it up for less.

    If history is a quide, $400-500 may be about the hammer on this.
