wasl51 Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 2:40 pm wow, thank you. Apparently I have a VIP strike coin. I wonder what the value is as apparently only 600 struck. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 6:32 pm How did you come to the conclusion that your coin is a VIP strike? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
wasl51 Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 8:19 pm Well the only ones struck in 2000P with this finish were the Goodacre, First Stike and perhaps some wash trials but this doesn't have the wash marks I have seen on those coins. What do you think it is? Report this Post to the Staff
nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3471 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 8:37 pm They look like normal strike Sacagawea's to me. I have several VIP strike coins in government packaging as well as TPG slabs. The VIP coins were struck on specially prepared planchets with higher stamping pressure. Report this Post to the Staff
wasl51 Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 8:47 pm Nine, how come it has the satin finish versus the top shiny gold finish? There is stark difference in the finish between the two. Report this Post to the Staff
wasl51 Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 11:03 pm I guess it could be the second variety of the Cheerios coin with regular strike tail feathers. Report this Post to the Staff
