Roll Hunters: Ever Found 2000-P Cheerio Sac From Circulation?

Hi'

I wish :-) Not yet:-)but it sure would be a nice find!

Great question!

Have Fun,
Bill

You mean Sac dollars actually circulate?

id assume that alot of them probobly are in circulation, back in 2000 no one new that the variety even existed so I'm positive that many were spent and therefore are in circulation or in dusty boxes at the federal reserve

A new wrinkle to the situation recently popped up. General Mills included 5500 Sackies in 10 million boxes of Cheerios. An example sealed in original packaging was recently submitted to PCGS and they discovered that the coin did not have the enhanced detail tail feathers- it was a normal business strike! One can no longer assume that since they have a Sacagawea in Cheerios packaging, it is the more valuable 1999 reverse. A normal 2000P in packaging is just a regular Sacky, nothing more. Now, no one knows how rare these things actually are- were just a few replaced to complete the run or is the real number much smaller? More than likely, some have made it to circulation but many could also have been squirreled away in junk drawers and shoe boxes and will not see light light of day for years. Even if the entire run made it to circulation, the odds of finding one are infinitesimally small- 0.0000072% given a total of 767+ million 2000-Ps minted.

Hi,

I think it would also be possible that someone removes the Cheerios Sac and recreates the shrink wrap on the card insert, replacing a Good one with a normal 2000 P Sacagawea dollar.

Also, it has been known for awhile that not all "Cheerios Dollars" contained the "Reverse of 1999" coins as they came to be known. It's really nothing new to variety specialists although many collectors are not aware of this.

Here's a little more detail.

So watch out on ebay and other places as a coin in a Cheerios "wrapper" may not be that $10,000 wonder that everyone thinks it's supposed to be:-)

Thanks,
Bill

biokemist6:
Thanks for calculating out the odd. But in reality, anything that has a probability of greater than zero will happen eventually. Just like Power bowl.

They also minted in 1999 20-25 22k gold they the mint claim they were melted all but the one that had flown on the space shuttle.

I bet there a few they melted were just a regular Sac. a few Gold ones is some mint officials or congressman collection or Bill Clinton may have one.
1 will pop up somewhere someday
