2000 Cheerios Cent??

Windycity

Is there any difference in a Cheerios Cent vs. a normal 2000 Cent?

Yes,As far as I know,the first difference is mintage.I'll leave the rest of details for someone else.Underrated coin,as I'm concerned.

I do not know of any differences at all other than keepsake value.

There is no way to determine what coin is a Cheerios Cent and which is not, unless the cent is still in the Cheerios wrapper. Other than that, it is just a cent and worth a cent. However, if the cent is a Wide AM variety, then you have a few dollars worth of a premium.

The 2000 Cheerios Cent was in a blister pack, and is no different than a 2000 cent made for circulation.
The money coin is the enhanced tail feathers 2000P SAC, of which 5.5k were minted.

I have a dealer friend that is selling a PCGS graded " Cherrios cent" Pretty Cool I think.There is a certain mintage,that only can one receive from a Cheerios box.

Were not the dollar and the cent in the blister pack for the Cheerios and in order to get them graded both coins had to be submitted in the blister pack.
So even though it was a regular circulation cent PCGS gave it a individual coin number but did not make it required in any of the registry sets which lessened it premium..

Yes,your right. and it's the Dollar,everybody wants,Mega-bucks!

Bingo. The Cents are exactly the same as normal production. The Dollars on the other hand are worth far more than their regular production brothers.

I understand the dollars are different and therefore the value but I noticed that PCGS has Cheerios Cents listed in the coin prices section. So now I am to understand that PCGS will grade a Cheerios Cent if submitted in the blister package with a different coin # even thought the coin is the same as general circulation cents??? Seems odd that the "collector" ends up with nothing more than the label. Learn something new everyday.

Huh?

Whats so "odd" about that?

Aren't First Strike™ slabs "nothing more than the label"?
Aren't Kennedy Portrait slabs "nothing more than the label?"
And what about the 40th Anniversary Eisenhower Dollars? Aren't they "nothing more than the label"?

There is nothing numismatically special about ANY of the above coins yet folks buy them for "nothing more than the label" and the TPG's continue offering these "special" labels to the Authorized PCGS Dealers to sell to their customers.

It seems to me that those wanting to spend their money on either purchasing or submitting a standard circulation quality 2000 Lincoln Cent all wrapped up in "Cheerios" packaging for that "Cheerios" label falls right into line with other "label only" slabs.

The cents are normal, the only premium would be as a novelty. There have been many on ebay selling for a few bucks.

There were a lot more of the cents than the dollars, every box had the cent unless it was a lucky box that included the dollar.

19kyds... I agree. I guess you can see that I am not a fan of first strikes of other labeled holders. To each his own.

So we have 'buy the coin', 'buy the holder' (regency, doily, etc) and now 'buy the label'. Geez, what's next? 'Buy the font'...
