    Yep. Still have one of the Cheerios boxes they came in.

    Also have a two-coin set with the dollar and the cent in the original holder like this. The dollar does NOT have the obverse die marker I discovered that is on all the coins with the pattern reverse.

    I have 2 was hoping for the dollar, but no such luck. Does our host still have a special holder for these?

    I bet you would still do very well with it in an eBay no reserve auction.

    I sold my Cheerios cent at GreatCollections (a labeled NGC MS67Rd) this January for a disappointing $24.82.


    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

    What do you think the chances are that it MAY contain the pattern reverse and be missing the obverse marker? Unlikely, for sure. But, is there a small chance?

    I didn't mean to suggest any deception. I thought the Cheerios pedigree might be worth something even if not the pattern strike.

    I looked over my Cheerios coin and found that below the

    t and r in trust is a u and s. Please excuse the photo, but have a look. It does not appear to be in the wrapping, but is odd. What do you think? I don't want to be like our "pal" and flush it. Just wondering if you can tell anything from the lousy images.

    Oh, it certainly is. My gut feeling is it is worth about two grand.

    I decided to stop hoarding multiple copies of the same coin just before the discovery of the Cheerios pattern. I talked myself out of them saying $50 was too much for a cereal box toy.

    Boy that was a great decision. .. Every time I see one of these it gets under my skin. :'( :#
