Condition and Estimated Values
For the four years previous to this guide's publication — sales for each item in this value guide is tracked by condition through private transactions (when known), internet auctions, fixed price sales, and live auctions. Then the known sales prices in each condition are averaged and interpreted to produce an estimated value. When recent sales are not known, an educated estimate is used based upon recent sales of similar items. All estimated values are given in U.S. Dollars.
Remember that condition is the most important factor when determining value. Many Coca-Cola items found in today’s marketplace fall into the Very Good (7) to Excellent (8) condition catagories. This is considered the average value range. Items in a Near Mint (9) or better condition are rarely encountered and thus often command a much higher value. An honest assessment of condition is critical when determining your Coca-Cola items value.
