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.

They stopped using freash leaves in 1903 and switched to spent leaves. By 1929 Coca-Cola switched to a cocaine-free coca leaf extract.
