Message:: [QUOTE="DietCoke1117, post: 1556157, member: 28063"]I understand your thoughts based on what is printed onthe card, but I have "Order Forms" from the same address. Here is what happened back in the day when these were being produced. The bottlers authorized their production and sold them, the bottlers also used other sources to sell them such as local banks. They also partnered with some of the folks behind the scenes that started the Ingot Program (Gary Fillers) through a company called “The Cola Collector” which later renamed to “The Coin Wholesaler”.  Then they went out of business (not sure ofthe date they folded).  That is when the “Official Coca-Cola Bottling Company Commemorative Ingot Program” all of a sudden came about (I don’t know the history of this company).  I never received anything in the mail that they were registering the ingots, so that is why I believe it is a marketing effort cooked up by the Denver Bottler to help share and obtain more collectorinformation so that they could mail addition “Official Order Forms” as new ingots were produced.  Maybe someone knows more, but I have spoken with allot of people at World Wide Mint, Gary Fillers and others at Coca-Cola Bottlers over the years and this is the best information I can obtain.[ATTACH]209911.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
