It's big.  If you got the room on a wall, I'd snap it

No repros have been made for that size button that I've ever seen.. not a big enough market for that size.. and most of the repopped buttons where smaller ones and had the coke logo and bottle in the middle..

This one your looking at it is the real deal.

The paint looks original to me, what you think? Any cues to telling original paint other than the obvious? I compared the script to other originals and looks correct.

If you want it you better snatch it up before someone else does.

And make sure you take a vehicle big enough to get it into!  I made a deal with a guy on a 48" Coke button (the one with the bottle) but I could not get the sign through to door or even through the back hatch of my Dodge Magnum.  Made arrangements to come back with another vehicle and he ended up selling it to someone else.

That is a big sign so you better have a big wall for it!

Really? What do you think a 36" might be worth?

Hey folks just picked it up last night. I got both signs for $400, I'm pretty happy with the purchase but now I got to figure out where to put it. My basement is unfinished, the walls are covered with signs and stuff except by the furnace where I'm thinking I'll frame out around it and then be able to hang it on that wall. Maybe its a bad thing when I'm building walls just to hang a sign. I think being hooked on buying this stuff is more addictive than cocaine to be honest. If anyone is interested in the bottom one let me know, didn't plan on getting it but the guy through it so I couldn't resist.
