True but then I wouldn't mind spending $7 just to find out!

I'd figure, unless the seller gets pelted with messages, but only lasting 12 minutes, they'd have to check completed auctions....but I figure the chances of ebayer w***n (639) is going to get a VERY early, and a potentially VERY BIG Christmas present (odds are pretty damn good, even if there ARE Cheerio's Dollars that AREN'T the 'big one'. Just unreal that a person, who never sold even ONE coin, or coin related item, could come across something like this and not do ANY research on something they plan on selling on ebay. Seller charges $2 shipping, it'll get to w***n in a regular envelope for whatever a single stamp costs. Seller probably figures he made $$7.49 profit on selling $1.01, less ebay/PP fees profit....selling $1.01 for $7, charges $2 shipping....makes $5.99 on the coins, and maybe $1.50, less the fees. IF it comes that way, with no tracking, the buyer could technically get the damn thing FREE!!! Simply infreakincredible.
disclaimer...this is all based on the ASSUMPTION it's the 'big' Cheerio's Dollar....myself, I have a feeling someone just made a 5 digit rip for $8.99. Where would that rate in the post that wanted 'your biggest rip' or 'biggest return on a rip', or something to that effect.

<< <i>weren't the Cent and Dollar packaged separately?? these two appear to be in the same cellophane capsule. >>
No, they came just the way you see the pic.
<< <i>Why would it end after a few minutes. Maybe someone made an offer and it ended, so maybe the seller gets paid better >>
He had a $7.00 buy it now price. Someone bought it. They paid him $7 plus shipping for it.

I've only seen them in the same packaged together.
<< <i>Why would it end after a few minutes. Maybe someone made an offer and it ended, so maybe the seller gets paid better >>
It was an auction that started at $2.99 and had a BIN of $7. The seller was HOPING to get $7 out of it!!!!!!
To keets...I'm almost 100% certain, from others that we all were directed to at one time or another they were 'sealed together', like the mint does.....come to think of it, you'd think the mint possibly packaged it in mint cello. I don't know any better than 50/50 (perhaps someone can chime in that DOES know?).
edited.....keets, now you have me trying to recall if they were sealed together, but 'seperately', much like the mint sets. This packaging has the loose so they can contact each other, so now, I'm less than 50% certain....because of the good point you brought up
<< <i>I really hope the seller doesn't read this thread. Mail can be recalled you know. >>
Ya and some will try to get it befor he or she sends it out to the buyer.
Hoard the keys.
He sent it in, remaining in the packaging, and it turned out to be the big score... I guess you could say that a $7.00 or so gamble was a much safer bet than the $3,500.00 the guy ATS took.
Best of luck to the buyer to actually receive it but I am sure someone (or many) have told that guy what he got rid of and what they would have gave for it. If it makes it past the wolves at the door then that will be the true HUGE score.

Correct.
<< <i>Wasn't there a diagnostic on the obverse ? >>
there is and despite my best efforts, i couldn't come to a conclusion about either coin in the 2 threads.

Yes. Check out www.smalldollars.com

<< <i>Most of the boxes contained the cent packaged by itself. A smaller number of the boxes had the cent packaged with the dollar. I do not recall ever seeing the dollar packaged by itself. >>
IIRC. 10,000,000 cents were placed in Cheerios Boxes and General Mills advertised that 1 out of every 1,000 boxes would have the Sacagawea Dollar in it.
EVERY Listing I have ever seen has always had the cent and dollar sealed together on the same card.
I almost forgot, SOME ( a scant few ) Cheerios Boxes had a certificate which could be redeemed for 500 Sacagawea Dollars. Well, I think it was 500, it could have been 250 or maybe 200 or maybe 2000 since the advertising campaign was to celebrate the year 2000.
I got the cents but not the dollar since I was not heavy into getting a SAC in a box of cereal which I could get down at WALMART for a buck! (which is where I got my 1st SAC.) Have you guys priced a box of Cheerios lately? Even in 2000 they were like $5.00 a box!

Not mine of course.
<< <i>If it's not the ETF version, is it still highly sought after? I mean 700+ million 2000P SAC's were struck, am I missing something? >>
Even a Cheerios Dollar, slabbed as such, without the ETF, still carries a relatively hefty premium.
Then more messages will make the seller realize something is up.
I hope the buyer gets his cherrypick but this has happened to me several times already.
I dont like people who do that.
Ok that explains it. Were the ETF examples only distributed in boxes of Cheerios? Or were they released into the wild? Rolls? Mint sets?
<< <i>Were the ETF examples only distributed in boxes of Cheerios? Or were they released into the wild? Rolls? Mint sets? >>
Only released in the Cheerios boxes. The entire story can be found HERE.
Just clicked on your smalldollar link in your sig, everything was answered in an instant.
<< <i>I wonder how many ETF versions were un-packaged and spent? >>
Undoubtedly many. Kids probably removed them from the package and spent them. At least one has been found in circulation in North Carolina. Also, many were probably just thrown into a sock drawer and forgotten about, where they still sit.
