Aarmale Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Does this coin costy more then justs its bullion value? Does it have a premium? Here's my description of the coin: AR 1 oz. In script, the text "This is the Champagne of Ginger Ales" around bust of J.J. McLaughlin. Beneath bust, text in 4 lines "World Famous Words of J. J. McLaughlin, inventor of CANADA DRY. Toronto 1904". Border of dots. / Coat of Arms of Canada Dry, beneath "ONE TROY OUNCE - 24K FINE GOLD". Incuse gold mark beneath. Certificate of authenticity included. More pictures will be given also. Best regards, Aarmale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Did you mean AV (gold) instead of AR (silver)? Anyways, if it's 1 oz of gold, I highly doubt that any soft drink memorabilia collector would value it more highly than its gold scrap value. Probably a pretty scarce prize from the looks of it.

Aarmale Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Thanks. I meant to write AU for gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 The closest things I've come across is stuff for Coca Cola and Barbie, but those were in silver, so it's a lot easier for a collector to pay $50-100 for something like that. (and thus a premium over melt/scrap) But even with a more recognized name (e.g. Coca Cola), I think the the premium would likely be marginal.

Aarmale Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Thanks for the reply. I guess it would be better to sell it for its weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlene Springett Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 I have that same coin. Did you find a buyer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
