    My dad sent me my worthless coin collection from about 25 years ago, mostly foreign junk, but also 3 sealed Cheerios cents still sealed in the cards.

    Are these worth more than 3 cents or do they go in the trash?

    Thanks

    You could risk it and cut them out to see if any of them are WAM'S.3 possibilities total,seems like it's worth a shot.only around 2 bucks each as they are but finding a WAM would be a lot better and if a bust then just spend them. Screenshot_20230218_184849_Photos.jpg

    I say.... Don't risk opening especially when their trading for between $5 -$10!! This is according to funtimesguide.com.

    As long as its not open its as good as Schrodingers cat! It could always be the valued one.

    I have several cereal box coins, pennies and nickels, I keep them all. Let my heirs worry about worth, I'll enjoy them while I'm here!

    here is a quick look at what's on Ebay ending soon with bids - everyone can make their own assumption.

    I do the same. These are a neat piece of collecting history, and hopefully attracted a few collectors along the way.

    Although there is a die marker on the obverse for the enhanced tail feather dollar. I don't believe that there is a common die marker for the cent.
    On the cheerios dollar there is a die gouge below the date at the rim.

    Wow - thanks for all the replies. Maybe I'll try the flea-bay after all.
