That is cool!

Paradisefound · July 26, 2018 5:50PM

Will it go to the wall display shelves? I always fond of the design @Knell ...great addition to your set.

The original box is a great find as is the medal in that nice a condition. It is good to see a real one vs. the much later restrikes of that medal.

Really nice medal and that case is the icing on the cake!

Thanks for sharing!

Flatwoods · July 26, 2018 6:18PM

Great pickup!

Knell · July 26, 2018 6:53PM

@291fifth yes a lot better quality than restrike. I had 2 other Coca Cola medal but when I saw one this past Long Beach coin show, I thought my medals are either a restrike or a China made copy. The dealer was selling it for around $300 but I got mine on eBay last week for way less than $100 shipped.
@Paradisefound thanks. No space in my wall display case but will be on my desk next to keyboard so I can glance at it and check everyday.

Wow, "cool" !!!

JBK · July 27, 2018 2:39AM

Great medal.

I never would have guessed that case was from 1915, though.

ilikemonsters · July 27, 2018 2:57AM

Wow, thats cool! Let me know if you're ever in the market to sell it.

Treashunt · July 27, 2018 3:05AM

really neat item, especially with the case

ricko · July 27, 2018 4:52AM

Very nice medal and a great price.... Congratulations... Cheers, RickO

thebeav · July 27, 2018 5:25AM

Is this an original period item ?
I've never seen one........

coinsarefun · July 27, 2018 6:09AM

One of my favorites @Knell , as you can see I use it for my avatar.
@thebeav and @JBK although the medal and box says 1915 it’s actualy from around 1965.
And heavily copied in the 70’s with no box and very crude looking.

Thx for the clarification. Based on construction, materials,, and especially the type style of the printing, I didn't se any way that box was 100 years old. 1965 seems more realistic.

coinsarefun · July 27, 2018 7:19AM

By the way, I found this much larger box years ago. I heard whispers only that there was a much larger medal,
even suggesting it was silver. This box does not look like it held a coin but maybe a badge?(guessing)

Maybe one day I will find out

I didn't know these existed. Very neat!

Makes sense based on the rub inside the box and the elastic cords.

Or maybe a fancy bottle opener...

jmlanzaf · July 27, 2018 9:05AM

This appears to be one of the later ones, maybe 1970s???

Knell · July 27, 2018 9:11AM

Yeah, I think the dealer from this past Long Beach coin show said something about 1970's era. Thanks.

Description from the ebay listing;
" AS ABSENT FROM THE 1965 ANNIVERSARY FACSIMILE, THIS MEDAL HAS THREE DIFFERENCES: THE 2ND "F" IN FIFTY ON THE OBVERSE IS ATTACHED TO THE RIM; THE ROUND BORDER UNDER THE LETTERS ON THE REVERSE APPEARS TO RESEMBLE LITTLE ARROWS RATHER THAN BEADS & LASTLY, IT APPEARS THAT THE ACTUAL SLUG IS FILLED WITH CHOCOLATE.
Please see photo for reference "

@jmlanzaf this is a copy and paste description I took from the original listing as a joke.

coinsarefun · July 30, 2018 9:55AM

@GoldenEgg what does the inside look like? Does it have the 2 bands?. One short and one long?
Thanks

No, I got the joke. I just consider it bad form to write in all caps which indicates shouting - UNLESS you have a vision disorder, in which case I apologize.

... I did not type that out it is copied from the eBay listing description. it was a direct copy with a little joke added about his coin type but clearly you did not look at the link you posted - UNLESS you are dyslexic, in which case I aoplgoize.
