    Check the reverses of you 2000-P dollars, before selling them!!! Or turning them into the bank!!!

    Remember the Cheerios dollar!!!
    For those of you who don't know what this is, it is the same sacajewea dollars, but, it has HIGH details on the tail feathers, I mean high detail... LOOK


    Here is a comparison
    These coins are worth roughly around $5,000

    I spent the dollar along time ago when I didn't know any better. Still have the cent though. :(

    I look at every 2000 P that comes across my desk. So far in the past 3 years of searching & spending I've looked at 2302 2000 Ps. This doesnt count the other years and D minted coins either.

    so far i have struck out finding any Cheerios dollars, but I did find one wounded eagle coin

    OK - what is a wounded eagle? BTW - I can barely see the difference except maybe the stem feathers of the two middle tail feathers.

    Reuben, it is the high relief of the middle tail feather. Notice all of the veins in the feather with superb detail on the top picture. I have searched for this one too with no luck. :(
