I just got this back. I'm very proud of it. No explanation needed.

Nice addition to an interesting set.
Is that in a currency type flexible holder?
That is very interesting. Thanks.
Very nice. Excellent way to preserve a special item. Cheers, RickO
Yes.
I also have two more but they are only signed by Rogers. Here's 1.
I have one of those Golden Dollar 1st Day Commemorative Coin Covers that I bought from the US Mint for $23.90. I received it on 05/30/2000. Not sure whose signature is on it, since I have it stashed away, and haven’t seen it for years. I was big into collecting millenium souvenirs back then. Especially coins. I also have a $2. Millenium Note purchased from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for $6.95. Nice keepsakes!
Philip Diehl's signature is printed on the reverse. It's not a hand signature.
Thanks.
I was wondering about that.
It's special to me because it's hand signed by Goodacre and Rogers. The coin itself was struck on the first day of production, November 18, 1999. It's a special collectible to me, maybe no one else. I also have it listed on my website: smalldollars.com/dollar/page23.html
I have two more of these but they were signed only by Rogers (Who's a super nice guy BTW).
Great item.
A few random thoughts...
It says it is from the first day of striking. Does this include the Cheerios dollars?
That is a great signature combination with both designers. I have a few things signed by Rogers (agree - great guy), but I never was able to connect with Goodacre.
I did get a signed letter and US Mint bookmark-sized flier from the model for Sacagawea, but she seemed to retreat from the publicity after a couple years.
Good question about the Cheerios Dollars. But aren't those considered Trial or Pattern pieces. The cover here on the back states "Struck On First Day of Mintage November 18, 1999 Philadelphia Mint".
Nice one!
Yes, I agree that due to the different reverse it was declared a pattern, but before that was discovered and the Mint acknowledged that, I wonder how they squared the Cheerios mintage with the official first day of mintage for these commemoratives.
I assume the Cheerios dollars were done earlier since otherwise they would have been in these also.
I think the mint has some explaining to do.
