Hard to believe it's 18 years old? Where does the time go?

ECHOES · April 15, 2018 4:05PM

Yes, still have my example.

CaptHenway · April 15, 2018 4:15PM

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?

cmerlo1 · April 15, 2018 4:35PM

Yep, I have one somewhere.

CommemKing · April 15, 2018 4:39PM

Sold mine.

bsshog40 · April 15, 2018 6:18PM

I still have mine also.

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

Can you show us yours Timbut?

Treashunt · April 16, 2018 3:59AM

I have one, got it years ago

Any idea of current value?

Besides one cent?

dpoole · April 16, 2018 4:57AM

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

To tell ya the truth, I'm not sure where I got mine. Btw, in 2000 I was 41 yrs old. Lol

ricko · April 16, 2018 5:51AM

I do not wish to deceive anybody. When I sell it I will sell it to an informed collector who knows what he is getting.

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?

Not with my luck.

I am unaware of any such mule.

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

Smudge · April 16, 2018 2:01PM

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.

DNADave · April 16, 2018 3:15PM

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. :'(

fcloud · April 16, 2018 4:20PM

I have one, but the dollar would have been better...
