Original in that condition may fetch $150.  $100 for a re-pop is pushing it with a dent.

Cool. Thanks for the heads up. I'll offer maybe $60?  Luckily he's only a couple miles away so I don't have to go very far.

This sure looks like an original progress cooler to me  Oo, cold galvanized liner, the lid handle & bottle opener looks to be OEM, ( maybe the copy right mark under the tail end of the "Coca~Cola" ? unless they ran a batch of them on the original die-set. In any case, I agree that the dent is a big negative price-wise.

That "Drink" font and the Trademark Registered "R" = repro.
$60 might not be bad.

         I agree with Johnie, that galvanized liner gives it a much more original look but I think the original lowboy also had a drain.
Anyway, for under a hundred bucks you get a cooler that your not afraid to use daily.  Go for it!

Here is n original

"Drink" is a smaller font size, and the Registered Trademark symbol ( R in a circle) was not on the original cooler.

Got it for $60

It is a repop. Embossed and says 2001 coca cola co on it....

Thanks for the help guys!

And apparently the orchird supply hardware stores had repo 6pack coolers for about $60. All sold out but I called one near me and they said to check back in a couple weeks. They might've ordered more. This is SoCal so check yours near you.

Hate to say it, but that actually looks just... awful  glare  they should have centered the embossing vertically
