Thanks to everyone!

The coins were submitted in the original packaging.

As for the cost vs value. It cost $48 to have the cent graded and the value at MS-66 is only $50. Not worth having any other cents graded. The only reason to have this one certified was that it was part of the set.

I think we went through 25 to 30 boxes of Cheerios in the search. I still have 10+ cents in the original packaging. I even have an original box from the 2000 promotion somewhere in the house. Now, if I can only FIND IT!

 

Update: Here's the Heritage auction description for the coins.

Sacagawea Dollars
2000-P SAC$1 "Cheerios," FS-902, MS67 PCGS. The so-called "Cheerios" variety, listed in the Guide Book as the Boldly Detailed Tail Feathers variety, which merely describes the diagnostic: sharply ribbed tailfeathers on the reverse eagle. This variety was not publicized until years after the 2000 breakfast cereal promotion. Surviving examples are scarce and highly sought-after in high grades. This Superb Gem example displays full detail and deeply prooflike golden surfaces. Eye appeal is outstanding. Includes the accompanying "Cheerios" 2000 Lincoln cent, certified MS66 Red in a consecutively numbered holder.

 

I recommend the the tan ones. You’re welcome. You deserve it.

 

**30** boxes of Cheerios? Either you are running a reform school or are still eating the cereal from 2000...

 

It was my wife's favorite cereal / snack back then. We bought at least 1 box per week for the first 15 years of our marriage. The coin promotion fit right in with my search for the dollar and Amy's snack preference. Funny but I don't think that very many of the little O's ever saw a drop of milk, but they disappeared just the same.

 

The tan are my favorite, but I'll stick with these.

 

That's is neat!!
