<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1970 Silver Art, post: 990495, member: 18828&quot;]The Coca-Cola - Youngstown silver art bar is a very rare silver art bar.&nbsp; It is so rare, that I rarely see it on ebay and that is saying a lot.&nbsp; It was minted in 1981 by the World Wide Mint.&nbsp; That is a super awesome find.&nbsp; That is one of the rarest (if not the rarest), Coca-Cola silver art bars of all the Coca-Cola silver art bars that were minted.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>According to Thomas A. Mock&#039;s second edition guidebook called &quot;Coca Cola Bottler&#039;s 75th Anniversary Ingot and Round Guide Book 1975-1988&quot; (Image #110 in the guidebook), The mintage number is unknown for these but the guidebook says that there might have probably been less than 200 of these Youngstown bars minted.&nbsp; The guidebook further mentions that these Coca-Cola-Youngstown silver art bars were given to the employees at their 75th anniversary dinner and there were less than 200 employees back in 1981, their Youngstown Coca-Cola bottler&#039;s 75th anniversary year.&nbsp; The highest serial number seen, according to the Coca-Cola guidebook, for this bar is 00190.&nbsp; The serial number for this Coca-Cola bar is located on the side of the bar.&nbsp; The guide book puts the value at $1200.00, however, most of the time, silver art bars are not going to sell at guide book price.&nbsp; Since this Coca-Cola-Youngstown, is a very hard-to-find Coca-Cola ingot, then this might be the exception.</p><p><br /></p><p>If and only If you decide to sell this Coca-Cola bar, then it is a no-brainer to sell it on ebay.&nbsp; As mentioned above, this is one of the rarest Coca-Cola bars in existence and you do not find these on ebay on a regular basis.&nbsp; Personally for me, I have seen only one of these Coca-Cola-Youngstown bars on ebay and it had a BIN price of $1200 on it but I think that it took a very long while for it to move.&nbsp; However, if and only if you decide to sell it at a later date, then you should not use the BIN auction format if you want to move it quickly.&nbsp; In my very honest opinion, I would just use a regular ebay auction format and just let the ebay buyers have bidding wars over this bar. Ebay buyers who are Coca-Cola collectors will go bonkers over this silver art bar and will bid it up to a very high price IMO.&nbsp; In my opinion, you will not be disappointed if you decide to sell this silver art bar on ebay at a later date.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I also want to say that I have never sold anything on ebay but I have been following and studying certain winning bid prices on certain silver art bars and I have been observing certain price actions on a lot of silver art bars.&nbsp; Coca-Cola silver art bars on ebay will always do well on ebay and very rare Coca-Cola bars such as the Youngstown Coca-Cola bar that you have will do even better on ebay.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the silver rounds that you have pictured, I do not know anything about them and I am not able to help you out on them.&nbsp; I am really just a silver art bar collector that likes to collect silver art bars that were minted in the 1970&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
