Usually, silver bars and silver rounds are worth little or nothing over the spot price of silver. This is not true of Coca Cola silver bars. These highly collectable bars were made to celebrate the 75thanniversary of Coca Cola, and were released in 1979. The collectors of Coca Cola items is a large community, and they pay higher than silver prices for these one-ounce bars. So, some coin collectors, and most Coca Cola collectors, have interest in them.
At the time of this article being written, they were averaging about three times the spot price of silver, with some bringing in much more.
They are not all equally valued. Different bottling plants are depicted, and some from smaller towns are harder to find. Yes, there are many different bars, with a Coca Cola bottle shown on one side and a bottling plant on the other. When they appear for auction, like on Ebay, some are run using Coca Cola in the title and some using the Coke in the title. To view everything available you must conduct two searches. Searching Ebay regularly for about a year will probably reveal all or most of the varieties available.
The number available appears to currently be increasing, possibly due to the economic times.
