Not all of the Cheerios SAC dollars are the same. PCGS experts recently opened a sealed "Cheerios" package only to find that the dollar was of a normal Rev of 2000 die type. The package appeared to be authentic and showed no evidence of tampering. A similar experience was reported by another grading service.

great lol now a shadow of suspicion on the Cheerios dollars just another item one must know WHAt they are buying before they buy thanks for the heads up
I bet this will make the price of the original reverse cheerio dollars go up if many more are found. I would guess that even if there are fewer regular reverse coins found than early reverse coins, people will still want the dollar with the early design more.
Well let's see - they can fake slabs, they can fake coins, they can fake the older Mint sets and Proof sets packaging - just how hard do you think it would be to fake a package that was put in a cereal box ?
I think people should be warned that if they're buying sealed 8 year old Cheerios boxes looking for these things, DON'T EAT THE CHEERIOS!!!

I was thinking, I wonder if you could compare an unopened/unsearched box of Cheerios from 2000 that offered the Sac Dollar to an unopened/unsearched bag of "Wheaties".....lol...get it? Well, anyway....would the unopened Cheerios box actually sell for a premium?
tell me if i'm right - so according to the article from PCGS if someone sent a Sac & penny in the orginal Cheerios packaging for PCGS to open & grade and it was the normal 2000 reverse for the Sac. So would PCGS grade the Sac like in was never in a Cheerios packaging and label the penny with the Cheerios designate labeling as it was ???? if this is true why take the chance and send it NGC instead
