eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 12/27/2007 1:49 pm Any rumors about similar things like that happening again ? Hopefully NOT with the Presidential dollars......but I don't want something like that to come and go before I latch onto a few the next time ! Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188770 Posts	Posted 12/27/2007 1:59 pm Hindsight is 20-20! Cheerios (and associated varieties) is my favourite cereal. I ate a lot during that campaign. Did I ever get a Sacagawea dollar from them?

eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 12/28/2007 10:15 am So you could have bought 300 boxes of Cheerios and not even got the 2000 penny, let alone the Sacajewea dollar coin ........... that figures ......well... I was never very lucky anyway....... but had I known back then I sure would have tried !! Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188770 Posts	Posted 12/28/2007 10:57 am What really stinks is that you have to consider I was a single man with ZERO skills in the kitchen; therefore I lived off of cereal (not just for breakfast anymore). One would think the odds were in my favour! Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
Dockwalliper Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 12/28/2007 11:21 am Every box that showed the coins on the front had at least the 2000 cent in it. There were 5,500 sackies placed in 10 million packages. All 10 million had the cent. I have one. Edited by Dockwalliper 12/28/2007 11:25 am Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 12/30/2007 8:38 pm yeah but its cheerios promotion coins, thats why I ask and I meant Close AM (whatever that is) I know nothing about cents just figured it had to be something different for them to mention it on the slab Report this Post to the Staff
Dockwalliper Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 12/30/2007 11:18 pm Then how did you know there was a "Wide" variety? This should explain. http://www.lincolncentresource.com/wideams.html I don't know but suspect all 10 million cheerios cents are "close" types. Report this Post to the Staff

gussyboy1 Valued Member United States 174 Posts	Posted 12/31/2007 11:34 am HI! I'm a newbee! I read the Sacagawea Cheerios story that a member referenced and I found it fascinating! I told it over Christmas and you could see people's eyes get this blank stare at first and then by the time I was done they were beating eachother to the door to go through their coins! ha It was a hit! Thanks! Gussyboy Report this Post to the Staff
