I agree with BigSilver and Conder101. It is impossible for us to tell without a better pictures. I think I see the die marker, but the picture is too blurry to be sure. Either way, it's better not to remove the coin from the packaging. If the coin is the rare variety, then it should be graded for your best profit, or even to preserve the coin. If it is a lower grade, it will likely sell for several thousand dollars. If you have it graded and it is a high grade ms69 coin, it could sell for tens of thousands. So the risk of damaging the coin by removing it is way too high, even touching it could affect the value. Do you want to sell it or keep it? If you want to sell, then there are places like Great Collections as mentioned previously, that will grade and sell the coin for you. If you want to keep it, then you may want to grade the coin.
Clear pictures would give us a definitive yes or no on whether it is the rate variety and we could also give you a rough idea of grade. This would allow you to have a rough idea of value. Knowing the value is important for insurance if you ship the coin or even to insure it if you keep it.

I think that I would like to sell it. I am working on getting a better picture and will be posting a better one when I can! I am calling great collections now to try and set something up as well. Any tips on how to package it while sending it out?

Any tips on how to package it while sending it out? Great Collections is a very well respected and trustworthy auction house. I would package it very carefully and make sure it's fully insured. Great Collections would probably know better than I do what the best way to ship it is, I haven't hit the jackpot yet. Congratulations btw, what a great find. Edited by Andy Herkimer

Maybe this will help you...
Heritage has 3 auctions up right now for cheerios dollars.
(I'm losing them all!) If you search for 2000-p cheerios you will find them. You can see a tiny "spike" pointing at the bottom of the P mint mark from the shoulder of Sacagawea. Zoom in on the coin as much as you want. I always find it good to look at an actual coin.
I can "almost" see it on your picture but just a little more in focus and we could tell for sure. If you can't get a better pic then just look for yourself with magnification and if you see the marker then at least you'll be pretty sure it's the "good" one.

Registered mail is the safest way to mail coins for grading or to an auction house, just check usps website or your local post office as they have restrictions on the packaging ( has to be all brown ) so it can be hand stamped at each location. Or you can just put it in a bubble envelope and put some stamps on it..I'm joking here, but I just purchased a gold commemorative coin on ebay and that's how the person sent it, no tracking or anything!   |

Maybe try turning the coin a bit and don't use so much lighting. That spot on the shoulder throws a lot of glare, even on the ones at Heritage.

Aside from being a special variety and the key to the series, this is an interesting coin for another reason. The population of the coin is increasing over time. One would think that this would cause the value to decrease over time, but you never know. I think it's a smart move to sell it if you don't want to keep it for a collection.
