<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 4395734, member: 105098&quot;]Also, this isn&#039;t the reverse of 1999 which didn&#039;t exist technically, and would of been a SBA dollar reverse, but this is a reverse created and struck in 1999 for some sample coins in 22K gold. This is the reverse used for the 12 examples in 22K they sent to space on Shuttle Columbia in 1999 that currently reside in Ft. Knox. (according to legend, LOL).</p><p><br /></p><p>Theory is they used this die for those 12 examples in 22K, and decided it has some life left on it to run the 5500 for Cheerios. also why it&#039;s referred to as a pattern reverse because it was used for pattern pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>These were struck pre-2000 so they could go to cheerios and be packaged and inserted into a product run and distributed across the country for the beginning of 2000. Also not every cheerios dollar is this pattern reverse. so they ran this die pair and another die pair at least, and picked out the 5500 for Cheerios, and the rest sat in a bin until they ran the rest for circulation whatever was produced I suspect from 2 die pairs, one being with this pattern reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a guess based off observations, but not every cheerios dollar in packaging is this pattern reverse, I think it&#039;s safe to assume some with this pattern reverse sat behind at the mint and went out to circulation with the bins and rolls of 2000Ps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
