It's not a "Cheerios" dollar because it is not in Cheerios packaging. It could still be a detailed feathers variety but I'm no expert.

would you please take a photo of the Obverse, there is a marker that also tells whether it is a Cheerios or not.

Well that is not the holders they came in. They looked more like these:  But the run may have been used for other coin sources:  There is an obverse marker that is part of the same lot. Someone posted a cheerios dollar that didn't have the different design as the first example I posted above. |

So the question remains, if it has detailed feathers (1999 pattern coin) have any been graded without being from a cheerios box? What happens to the circulated ones?
there is actually no way to determine if they came from a cheerios box once they have been removed except by the pattern so what happens now?
thanks!

Silverwolf, the 1st picture is the best that I have. I have a bid on it but haven't decided whether to withdraw the bid or not.
thanks!

The first photo has diagonal feathers like the true Sacagawea "Cheerios" dollar. However, I have one of those "first day issue" holders and it has normal tail feathers. Is it possible that some of the "Cheerios" variety coins were put into "First Day" holders?

Tail feathers are correct, so yes, assuming it's not a counterfeit, it is a cheerios dollar.

Now I'm really confused. If it was an enhanced tail feathers, Cheerios Sac, how could it get into a first day issue holder?

They may have been struck on the same dies. It is the die that shows the difference. https://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/4...695_2200.jpg From PCGS coin facts:Quote:Jaime Hernandez: In 1999 the Mint had to provide General Mills 5,500 Sacagawea dollars for an agreed promotion. In the promotion General Mills would place 5,500 Sacagawea dollars inside every 2,000th box of Cheerios. In 2005, collector Tom DeLorey discovered that some of these 5,500 Sacagawea dollars had a special detailed design on the reverse of the coin. This different design had detailed veins in the eagles' tail feathers. Uncirculated and including Proof coins lacked these fine details on the eagles feathers. After the initial discovery the hunt was on and collectors searched to see if they had this scarce design referred to as the Cheerios Dollars since the coins were only being found inside Cheerios boxes. After several years only several dozen examples were actually found. Who knows how many are still out there, but finding one would definitely be an incredible find. Edited by coop

@famiglietti49 So, did you buy it? It is possible that the seller may not know it is the rare version. It is also possible that the seller is misrepresenting the coin (what on ebay?). |
