Ok who touched one of my Cheerios pennies?!

It was early 2000...probably someone in marketing playing with the cereal box prizes again at General Mills HQ...I bet it's the same person who was stealing lunches from the fridge...

    I’ve got one of those...somewhere! I’ll have to dig it out and compare prints... :)

    The Honey Nut Cheerios Bee did it!

    That darn bee was everywhere lol!
    Well at least my other one is absolutely a stunner (from what I can tell and without seeing the reverse lol)..

    Yes! I love them, let's see it :-)
    Here's my other one, I think it looks like a real stunner with a beautiful swirling redness even though it was packaged in slightly defective packaging. The milky haze is only on the plastic.

    My grandmother gave me mine. I have it kept in a special place in my collection.

    Will PCGS slab those cents in the plastic like the baseball card packs?

    I'm still waiting for my donut seeds, aka cheerios, to take root.
    Maybe it was the gardener, in the greenhouse, with the plastic bag.
    Um, just a guess.

    I have a couple of those cents, in the original wrap. Never found the dollar coin....should have bought more Cheerios... ;) Actually, I like them toasted in a pot with butter and salt...makes a great snack. Cheers, RickO

    Must have been after they laid their finger on someone's Butterfinger bar.

    They slab them in a regular holder that says Cheerios. You could ask about the baseball card thing, but I doubt it.

    Unless you're sentimental about it, you might want to get the dollar graded!
    But I'm not saying to open the package!!! Lol.
    At MS63 it's $2,500.
    $8,000 MS68.
    Technically, it's a pattern coin!

    If the penny is nice it's worth plenty too :-)

    sold the original two coin package a few years ago. I do miss it though. Very hard to find in original packaging.
