    That looks like a nice older one. They still make them today but they all have those cheap rotten Zinc Cents in them. I've even seen some that are full red in color and they have zinc rot in places.

    My son got one at the Kid's Korner at the Baltimore Whitman show last year. It was a 70's cent. Then he dropped it and broke the little glass bottle it was in :(

    You have to break the bottle to get the Vodka out.

    They are very common at beaches on the east coast. I have a few coins in a bottle somewhere in my coin collection.

    Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure how it got in there but it is definitely in there. The bottle is cracked and maybe the to is missing but the crack isn't all the way through. What might you guys suggest for me to find out how much it's worth?

    It's worth a buck or less as the bottle is damaged.

    Just stick it on the shelf and enjoy it as a piece of history.
