    I have a bag bursting at the seams with gold dollars. Hundreds of em. I never been an errors or varieties guy. But I keep hearing about this Cheerios buck. I have a litte time on my hands so I am breaking out the magnifiers and studying tail feathers on Sackys...... The typical Sacky eagles tail feathers are rather smooth and nondescript. The way I understand it, the Cheerios buck tail feathers are detailed. Is that about it?

    Makes my head hurt. I reckon that’s the reason I have never been an errors/varieties guy!

    I’ll save you some time and let you know you don’t have any mule ones in there. You’d have known that without looking it up

    A few years ago I picked up a few of the Cheerios cents in their packaging at a flea market for 50 cents each. They looked really nice from the one side I could see so I decided to include them in a submission to ANACS and they came back MS67. Got $50.00 each for them on the bay. Covered a lot of my costs to submit (on a special).

    They are not GOLD dollars, they are "Golden" dollars. Big difference.

    I hadn’t noticed them before I took that photo. Danged aged eyes of mine. But yeah, that was a nice Sunday surprise.
