It is often asked:
"How many Cheerios 2000 dollars have been located out of rolls?"

Although Red is referred to as a "Forum Coin Prophet" by many members here, he mildly disagrees yet is flattered by this assessment. His answer to the above question is:

"None."

At least one actually.

Red strongly and uniquivitably disagrees.

@DesertCoin
You stated "located in rolls"

This collector located two in boxes and a single example in circulation (not in a roll):

"Joppa, Maryland, collector Cliff Long told Coin World that he had the unparalleled luck of finding three of the Cheerios dollars, two during the 2000 promotional period and one recently from general circulation."

If you are going to correct RED you should do so with a bit of accuracy and truth telling.

Disappointed with DC,
Red

Why ask to be removed? Just stay away until you're ready to return. I enjoyed you posts and hate to see you go.

He wants to follow in Colonel Jessup's footsteps. But you have to curse and raise a bigger ruckus.

Uncirculated/Burnished

This aren't actually identical

You, sir, are absolutely correct.

When I read the OP, I saw the 'interchangeable' part. But, I missed the 'mean (exactly) the same thing' part.

Thanks for the 'clarification/correction'.

Years ago, and I mean years, one of our very own forum members (who is now banned) came on here bragging (like, really bragging) about how he ripped a rare error coin (IKE dollar off centered on a foreign planchet) off an unknowing seller on eBay. The coin had many bids on it from not only me, but others on here, too. At the time, the coin was only bid up to a couple of hundred dollars in the first day. The, now banned, forum member convinced the seller to end the auction early for $300.00.

The ex-forum member was hammered for weeks afterwards by various forum members about what he had done and how he went about it and about how he bragged about it.

He subsequently got it holdered by PCGS and listed it for years on eBay for $10,000. He eventually (in the last couple of years) sold it to someone.

I will never buy a single coin from that person. He has a few errors I would not mind owning, but nope, he can keep them.

Yep....I remember that. And after he bragged about it, before it was sent, seller tried to renege on it after hearing from people contacting her. Buyer (the forum member you alluded to) then threatened legal action against the seller and forced the sale by bullying her for it.

Seller, if I recall, later changed his forum name as well, and really hated being reminded of his actions...though he had no remorse about it...just hated people calling him out for it.

I have been impatiently waiting for the definitive answer to this question. When will @Cougar1978 post to this thread?

Finally! As we all know, @Cougar1978 has cut straight to the heart of what is important to coin collectors without any tire kicking or shenanigans. Like a punt return touchdown, just had to call in the special teams.

What if stuffed in the backfield? What then?
