Thanks, I forgot all about that!

That's up to you and him after doing a little "price" research. I can't help you but I'm reasonably sure that several members will do the research for all of us who are interested so we don't need to look for ourselves.

Just edited: Oh no, I hope I have not broken any more rules!

 

I'm outa here...

 

My bad..... All apologies. Just got overly excited!

 

wow great find. have it graded PCGS or NGC it's worth big bucks.

 

I have never ran across any other of these in original packaging while researching... thats why I am on a mission here trying to find someone who is in the know about it......

 

wish you ate cheerios

 

Hi, I am not a coin collector but have been searching online submitting to forums and think this may be a group to help me out. My fiance was home the other day and her mom gave her a box of stuff from high school. In there were 3 of the 4 rolls of Sacajawea coins she had received after getting a certificate in her Cheerios box in 2000. The 3 remaining rolls are unopened and we are trying to figure out if they are worth something or not. From what I have seen "Cheerio" dollars are worth quite a lot but it is no guarantee that they are indeed the ones of value. Any thoughts or opinions on how we should proceed? We live in Chicago if that helps.

 

The Cheerios Dollar that is worth money is a pattern coin that was actually in some boxes of cereal that were released in early 2000. This link should explain everything for you.

Thank you. I was just getting ready to type that out.

 

I'm surprised you didn't beat me. I learned to "hunt & peck" in the Army.

I have read that article and some others about the individual coins but have not seen much regarding the rolls they sent out to those that received the $100 certificate in the box. We don't want to open the rolls out of precaution and are trying to determine if either all coins in the roll would be cheerio dollars, maybe some, maybe none, etc.

 

.

 

I guess to clarify, would it be the assumption that all coins within the roll would be the same pattern or that the pattern could vary within the roll?

 

never heard of a roll of $100 before.....

 

I answered this on the NGC website. Chances of any of the coins being the prototype reverse is basically zero. The prototype rev dollars were acquired early so they could be package in the cereal boxes before the end of 1999. The coins for the rolls used to redeem the $100 certificates were acquired later, most likely after the prototype dollars were long gone.

 

I forgot all about the cert. Here are some images just for fun.

 

Look for the die marker on obverse

 

Hey GDJMSP,

Thanks for posting this link way back in MARCH of 2016! I got what I wanted so that was my last visit until today. I guess that makes you the quickest hunt-and-peck typist on this thread - by over a year.
