Title: Porcelain versus Painted
Post by: ort8149 on September 01, 2014, 06:19:21 pm
Hello Everyone,

I am interested in buying a coke button.  I don't know much about them, but hoping you can help me out with some advice.  Did they make porcelain and painted buttons?  I would assume that porcelain is more valuable?  This one has only the coca cola signature on it.  No coke bottle or other words.

Thanks in advance.

You're right they made both... and you are correct the porcelain, depending on condition can bring more...
might want to check ebay completed listings to see what they bring as the prices can be all over the place
depending on again condition and size... Good Luck!

A difference between the porcelain and tin button signs is that the tin ones have more of a shine than the porcelain ones.  So, pick the one that you like the best.
