coke can value

My wife insists that the value of my Coke can collection is equal to that of the value of scrap aluminum, minus the cost of shipping them to the scrap yard. I’ve been looking through my old copy of the Coca-Cola Collectibles Price Guide by Allan Petretti. (You can get one here)
The Coke can I’m looking for is from the 60′s with diamond-shapes on it. I’m pretty sure it was the first Coke can.
Limited Edition Coke Can
Sometimes the value is based on how rare it is. Is it a limited edition Coke can? Did it have a smaller run, promoting some local event? Some of my favorite Coke cans are very colourful and promote an event like sporing event. My friend Corey brought my back a Coke can from Italy with some colourful graphics on it promoting a soccer match.
Old Coke Cans
What is the value of an old Coke Can? eBay is probably the best source for current market value of your Coke can, but it’s fair to say that Coke cans from the 60′s are the highest value. Probably because not many have survived. I myself like the early 80′s Coke cans that were made of mostly tin.Â
Do you remember when Coke cans had a pull-tab that came off in your hand?

Hi Marc, any chance you could post a picture of it here? What is it worth? Well, I think it’s worth a lot, but I’m wrong. Coke cans are not like baseball cards. Coke cans from the 1960s can fetch some descent money, but from the 80′s? Well I guess it depends who wants it. I’d check out eBay if I were you. Good luck!
