I've finally decided to post those Mountain Dew dollar coins I mentioned from my Pepsi Collectibles thread on Ebay, one at a time.

Now you can see what they look like!   :3

Good luck.  I hope those two winners garner you some healthy cash.  It's hard to put a price tag on something that nobody else in the world has.

The moonshiner reminds me of the vintage Mountain Dew bottle I have. Mountain Dew: It'll Tickle Yer Innards!

Good luck on bringing in a good haul from the e-market.

That's the old Mountain Dew Hillbilly.  Mountain Dew used to be a hick drink.  Then Pepsi got ahold of it and reformed its image in the 1970's into a hip and trendy beverage with massive advertizing gimics.

I'm planning on doing that with furries:  Bono declares furries cool!  99% of public beomces furry!

Once I perfect my mind control ray, he'll do my bidding and the world shall become furverted!  *maniacal laughter*  Which I'll fund with the sales of my Mountain Dew coins!  See?  It's all one big conspiracy.   :3

Well, as long as it's only the one conspiracy, that's ok then. ;-]

I dunno, if Furries become mainstream, I think I'll have to reject the community.

That would really turn my world upside-down.

OUCH, for two reasons: One, it seems to have gone for US $13.27  :erk , and two, if I had remembered this was happening a little over two hours ago, I would have bid also.  :cry

Well, let me know if you put another one up, I will definitely put a bid on that one.

I'll prolly be putting another one up in a month or so.  I didn't expect the firstone to go for too much, as not much is known about them.   

If I can get a few out there, the really rabid collectors will start hunting for info, and maybe I can nail down all the specifics of the promotion and get some company records of it. 

That'll make the prices go up, once I have some type of certification.   :3

And that'll be the time to start showing off the two solid silver ones for mega profits.   >:3

Seeing how ridiculous a lot of the Coca-Cola merch goes, I'd almost suggest you hold off a few coins until you find a convention or two to sell 'em in.

Well, I have 30 of the brass ones now.  If I only sell one per month, I wouldn't run out for 2 1/2 years.   I think that's enough time.   :3

Mountain Dew is the new crack.  Lolz.   :B

EDIT Oct 4:  Muwah ha ha, the plan is working!  I've already had 4 people contact me, asking if I'll be putting another coin up!  I control the supply... I have a monopoly!  *is sued by international antitrust agencies, who take all his coins away*   :<
