[QUOTE="mugwump, post: 921630, member: 26072"]Hi everyone, I'm new to coin collecting, and was wondering if I could get some experienced opinions on a coin I've had hidden away, an unopened Cheerios dollar. I have looked at other threads about trying to discover if the coin is the rare pattern or not from only looking at the front. I actually bought a similar coin from ebay (not Cheerios) for comparison, and some images are below. I'm also new to the idea coin photography (not easy, haha), so hopefully they came out ok. From what the preview is showing me, the 1st is a picture of my cheerios dollar, the 3rd is the same picture zoomed in a bit, and the 2nd is the picture I took of the non cheerios dollar. From what I have read, opening the package myself to look for the tail feathers is the last thing I should do. Any opinions (from a well-trained eye) if it may look like the rare coin from the front? Any thoughts as to what I should do? Send it to pcgs sealed in the Cheerios package? That's where I am leaning, but it's a little bit of investment (registering, insurance, grading fees, etc...) Thanks in advance! Jon[/QUOTE]
