Yeah, looking at it now, I'm pretty sure that yours is the pattern. And even if it wasn't, you could still get a good, but definantly not as great, amount of money for the regular cheerios dollars. Even the normal dollars, cracked out and put into a slab with no cheerios packaging can bring very large premiums.

Definitely do NOT remove it from the packaging. Even if it turns out not to be a pattern reverse it can still be slabbed as a Cheerios dollar. If you take it out and it isn't the pattern reverse then you just have a coin worth one dollar.
And when you send it in be sure to mark very clearly on the invoice to check for the pattern reverse. You would think they would automatically check since it is a Cheerios dollar but I wouldn't take any chances. If you don't specifically tell them to mark it Cheerios and look for the pattern reverse you may get it back as just an ordinary Sac dollar.

PCGS would be my choice to send a coin of this value to. Its really amazing to see them still in the package, the only bad part is you can't see the Reverse but DO Not Take it out to look at the Reverse let PCGS do it that way even if it doesn't it will still be a Cheerios Dollar

Wasn't there some option to have these slabbed in their original packaging like there is with GSA dollars? Or did I dream that?

SaintRidley, what happened? Do you have any pictures of the slabbed coin? If things didn't work out between you and your lady, did you at least get to keep the Cheerios dollar?

If it dosent NEED to be cracked for diagnostics I wonder if you can get it (and the penny) graded as is with the backboard or at least in the soft pack like gsa's?... I would want it specially or "soft slabbed" as such if possible for sure!

No updates, yet, as the coin is still hanging out in its original packaging. I posted this shortly before starting grad school (hello low wages), and my wife started and finished her master's degree just this month (her internship this summer is all that's left, so hello even more low wages. As a result, we've put plans to submit the coin on the back burner because of affordability. We also found, upon moving here, that we have supremely lackluster postal service in this area and are less than inclined to send something like this through it. So we're probably going to hold onto this advice until we move (with luck I'll land a tenure-track position when I'm on the job market) and submit after that time.

Plans to sell the coin are nonexistent and are likely never to emerge.

So, that's the pattern coin? Nice! I'd say NGC but I'm a NGC fanboy so...
