Everyone has been talking about searching half rolls, so I thought to try something new. I went to a few banks, and expecting to find the usual roll of dollars, I found one with over $500 in rolls of dollar coins, as well as 15 eisenhower dollars. Well, after searching these (nice mix of SBA and Sac's) here is what I found: 10 Unc (MS 64, maybe a stretch to 65) 2001's (medium mintage) 5 Unc (solid 64's) 2002 and 2003's (also low mintage non circulation) 9 SBA's from 79 and 80 at MS63 and 64 One 1976D T2 Eisenhower shoe in for MS65, could go 66, but not likely One 1979 Clear 'S' T2 DCAM SBA proof. Lock in at PR64, most likely a 65. Not a bad haul, all things considered. The bank told me someone had turned almost all of them in a week before. Some of the Sac's had been stored somewhere humid, and had really cool rainbow toning (never seen that on a Sac before). Not uncirculated though, so I'm sending them back. The proof SBA Clear S was a huge win. That is a valuable coin!
Those are some super finds Richard. :thumb: :thumb: Did you check the Sacagaweas for "Cheerios" reverses? Charlie
Yep, that was a part of the motivation... hoping that if I look at all those 2000 P's that I'll find a cherios dollar. That would be the find of the century...
the cherios dollar was a 'presentation finish' as I recall, and can be identified by the fact that the eagles tail feathers actually have diaganol markings through them (additional detail) that is not present on the regular dollar (the tail is flat without any detail). You'd need a 5x loup at least to really ID. Only 5,000 were minted.
5,500 Sackies were inserted into Cheerios boxes as part of the "Golden Dollar" promotion in Jan. 2000. Turns out they were minted with a different rev. die and they are selling on eBay in the neighborhood of $3000. each. Here's a link.... http://home.earthlink.net/~smalldollars/dollar/page20c.html
