The coolest thing to walk into the store this week.

As listeners of The Coin Show podcast know... I do a segment called "The Coolest Thing". This is where I highlight the neat and unusual coins that come into my coin shop.

I figured I'd start a thread here about the same kind of thing.

This is this weeks coolest thing. Sealed Cheerios dollar in original packaging.

I'll post another next week.

Ooh, a Cheerios Sacagawea dollar. Does it match the Cheerios variety?

 

From what I've read on them, because it's possible to find a 'Cheerios variety' in the wild, the packaging makes viewing the reverse impossible.

 

It does show the obverse die markers.

 

Did the person who owned it know about the variety?

 

Now that's exciting.

 

Funny enough she did. She did her homework. Funny story tho... she called another local shop and told them about the coin... They told her "The cent is worth a cent and the dollar is worth a dollar" REALLY?????

 

Congratulations - that's something I've been trying to track down for a bit. Lucky enough to find the package with just the cent...and you gotta love the other shop's reply. You should let me know where they are so I can go cherrypick them.

 

That is cool , good idea for a thread Matt . Are you going to send her in or leave her the way she is ?

 

Wud you pay for it?

 

Matt

You never cease to maze me!

 

That would be a heck of a large slab!

 

This piece is going to be going to PCGS. These are bringing $4,000-$5,500 these days depending on grade.

 

I wonder if you could have sent it to NGC with a letter requesting that it be graded "in pack." Nice find and congrats to your customer. Other shop owner is a dolt...

I probably would have offered $2500-$3000 on the spot, personally. I have NEVER seen one with the penny AND dollar in the pack in person.

 

I'm pretty excited to see the results! Keep us posted. Did you send it in in the packaging?

 

Very neat. Thanks for posting. This is the first I've heard of these. There is a cool NGC slab designed for both coins. See here http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/page20c.html

 

Agreed!

 

Unfortunately NGC no longer does multi-coin slabs.

Why not, they pay more than that for copper cents (SVDB, 14-D), five million for a base metal 1913 V nickel, how much for a coppernickel 1973-S Unc dollar? (two known)
