Over on the Bay of E there is a Cheerios dollar certified ATS as "MS67 PL."

I have never heard of one of these being designated "PL." Has anybody here ever seen one so designated, or seen a coin they thought was PL?

ATS uses PL on lots of coins that our host does not.

Was it removed from the Cheerios cardboard before submitting? Is that why no "Cheerios" on the label? Is it worth that price without the Cheerios on the label?

Prototype reverse ? Wouldn't that be "First Reverse", as we have come to designate/attribute coins ?
But is it worth $7400?
not to me.

Every one I've seen is somewhat PL. Unless this one is strongly PL, I wouldn't get too excited by the designation.

Don't know. Remember that the first time I wrote about these, having seen one at a press conference in Chicago in October of 1999 and then noticing that the ones that came out in January were different, nobody knew that they had been used in the Cheerios packaging. It wasn't until later that I came up with the theory that the Cheerios coins must have been struck in advance and might have the prototype reverse, which Braddick confirmed with his coin.
It is possible that some of the press conference coins might have survived through whatever means, and since they were never in the Cheerios packaging it is proper to call one not submitted in a Cheerios holder a "prototype" coin, or whatever, rather than a "Cheerios" coin.

I have looked at a lot of these 2000P Sacs... none are the special variety.... I keep checking yard sales...one will turn up eventually... I did open a roll I had just to check, no luck there. Cheers, RickO
