Interesting, I've never seen them before.

A quick Google search yields this thread from years ago that mentions a Rose Coca-Cola disc as well (post on Sept. 4th):

Those are proofs or uncut sheets of the 1981 MSA Coca Cola drink lids. Here is a snip of one that sold recently-

Nice, i never see a coca cola cup lid, the only i know until today are the 77' msa cup lids. I think the cup lids was a regional issue or prototypes never release.

Are there any known discs/lids other than Bench and Rose?

There were two versions of MSA drink lids in 81' as well. I believe they are both regional but you would need to ask someone far more into these disks than me, lol. I just know from seeing them on rare occasions. The drink lids to my knowledge are all blank backed (all I have seen). Ungradable due to the size and thickness, so very limited in collectors.

I found a rose oddball collector that has both in his collection here. His 81' Coke is in much nicer shape than the eBay one.

Here's the March listing if you would like it for your records. The lids are not common due just being pitched in the trash, so they have value to the player collectors.

The Atlanta area had similar red plastic ringed Coca-Cola/Burger King lids the following year. I wonder if there is a Burger King relation? Just a possibility -

I really like those Burger King lids. Nice

I've got a complete set of those Burger King Atlanta Braves lids ( I worked for Burger king when they came out)
They are the most un-storeable things in my collection. They don't fir neatly in any box.
