There are plenty of pictures blown up on the web of the Cheerios tail feathers I can look at.
Shoot that amount money will buy the last key date for my Classic Head set.

care eh? only when marketed, ;-), did interest pick up and someone
found out it had a star on its belly.

not the whole box but the wrapper/package it came in.
i am sure someone has a pic that they can share of the original
packaging. it also came with a penny in it too.

Common? are you sure you understand what coin is being discussed here?
this coin is about as common as 'RickO' threads on how beautiful Toning is.

Just a variety...
1) It's mintage is more or less known and very limited for a modern day coin
2) It is a variety clearly visible and unique to this particular issue
3) It's story is well-documented, however there are facts that still need to be considered
4) Research has already proven this to be a very rare coin in ultra-high grades
I normally do not consider any modern coin to have any potential to hold its value in the current market. However, because of the above facts I do consider this coin to be one of the few examples which might be adored as much as any old coin with a mintage of about 6,000 pieces in 50-100 years.

here is a pic of just the penny in the original sealed package.
now let me find both the sac and penny together...
just realize one can tell without needing the original package.... just look at the rev tail feathers.
All this over a little tail!

<< <i>While it is a modern coin currently 8 years of age, I do consider this to be one of the very few moderns which might be able to hold their value over the next couple of decades, relatively at least, compared to classic coins.

(1) 5500 is not to me very limited, especially since AFAWK most still exist (if not yet known to the numismatic community). AFAIK, none yet have been found in change or rolls, which suggest that most are likely still in their original packages (where all known have been in when found to the numismatic community).
(4) I think you need to rethink this. Aren't all slabbed ones in high grade? (Not to mention my usual rant about the absurdity of the present gradations and of numerical grading in general.)
Frankly, I agree with (2) and (3) and certainly see these coins as mid-three figure items (and certainly nothing to laugh at). But I just do not see five-figure prices being sustainable in the long term.

I disagree. I'd be surprised if more than a couple percent of the circulating business strikes have been examined for this variety. I'd also guess that 90% of the 5500 coins were spent. How many kids would have been inclined to save the coin in the Cheerios packaging? Don't forget that most kids do not collect coins. Anyway, time will tell.

If 5000 were spent, then the odds of finding one at the bank or in change is 1:285,000.
I got tired of returning sac rolls to the bank.

Time will tell indeed. I must say however that I really see no reason to think that it is kids who got most of these. I know of Cheerios being eaten by people of all ages. The big unknown is probably not what ones are in rolls &c, but rather what ones are now in Ecuador. Those are the ones which are rather numismatically inaccessible.
Lakes, hey, that's much better odds than the lottery.
