Maker: Coca Cola 
Original Price: $1.19*
Worth Today: $250,000*

Back in 1892 in Atlanta, Georgia, a soft drink phenomenon was born. Coca-Cola sales are remarkable, in 2020 their global revenues amounted to about $33 billion. They are one of the most recognized brands in history and for this reason, many collectors love to get their hands on all kinds of paraphernalia.

Who would have thought that a Coca Cola factory error could be worth a quarter of a million dollars though. One would think perhaps a vintage bottle or advert would be where the big bucks are, but if you happen to come across a closed, empty can it could be worth a fortune! 

The history of this great brand is undeniable, so to pop culture enthusiasts and collectors alike, spending $250,000 on an old can might seem like the best way to spend a day. It’s difficult not to think about the other things you could spend a quarter-of-a-million on, though.
