hi! We recently found some old coins, one of which is a Sacagawea p Cheerios box gold coin and we are trying to see if they are worth anything, any help is greatly appreciated!!
As I recall the diagnostic for the Sacky’s is on the reverse. Doesn’t the Cheerios packing have the Sacky laminated to a piece of cardboard? Wouldn’t the coin have to be removed from that cardboard to see if it is the valuable variation?..... Or are all the Cheerios dollars that variety?
I think if its the real, it would have to be certified, yes @Randy Abercrombie, its very rare. In late 1999 General Mills ran a promotion where one in every 2,000 boxes of Cheerios would have a 2000-P Sacagawea gold dollar inside of it, as well as a 2000-P penny. The mint was promoting the new Sacagawea. It wasn’t until 2005 that anyone realized that the 2000-P Sacagawea coins in the original Cheerios packaging were different. The Cheerios coins have highly detailed diagonal tail feathers. The rest of the non-Cheerios coins have parallel tail feathers. so I think for the coin to have any creditability it would need graded by a top TGP. a coin of this value has a lot of liars saying they got it from a cherrios bo
There were some Obverse Die markings for the Cheerios coin still in the packaging; but still not definitive. https://www.pcgs.com/news/cheerios-sacagawea-dollar-found-without-enhanced-tail-feathers-design
Agree, its not for sure. the rare one has the reverse of the 1999 dollar, pcgs said they opened a box with the dollar, it did not have the rare one. and I bet the cereal was expired.
