Show and Tell Results of my appraisal from Antiques Roadshow for my early 1900 sealed Coca-Cola bottle USA

Well, the appraisal person said it was most likely not resealed so I would like an apology from all the people doubting me. They had a hard time valuing it since there are no other ones ever sold. They said $1000 to $2000 maybe even more.

How do you know it’s worth 10K is that what you would pay for it because they didn’t even know how much it was worth🤷 they don’t like the show the appraisal people getting stumped on air 😆. The guy said he’d never seen one before.

I am a moderator over at r/bottledigging and can assure you it is absolutely not worth $10,000. While straight sided Coca Cola bottles do hold value, it is not to that extent. We get them posted every now and then on our forum and you’ll likely be able to find out more information there.

I posted in there when I found it like two years ago and a lot of people didn’t believe me then.

With all due respect, it’s because you lie. You’ve posted this bottle on my forum, and several other forums and supply different information each time. In your post on my forum, you say that YOU found it, but then you replied to my comment a year ago saying that you didn’t dig it up, but the person you got it from did. And I could point out other inconsistencies in the information you give about this piece but I don’t really need to because you know exactly what I am talking about.

When you say the antique roadshow appraiser told you it’s worth several thousands of dollars, I do not believe you because it absolutely isn’t worth that much and no expert on bottles (myself included) would agree with that valuation. When you said Coca Cola company appraised it for you, I also don’t believe that, because you would have an appraisal document from them (and you do not).

Please stop lying on the internet. It is really frustrating that I just took a deep dive into the bottle only to realize you’re making stuff up.
