"ATTENTION" Unopened Mint Roll Collectors Of The 2000-P Sacagawea Dollars

"Why would the Speared Eagle need to be on the ends or in the middle? What if it was the second, or even the third coin in. Then what would you do?"

I have more questions. First, and foremost, what is the point?

You don't want to sell an unopened mint roll of 2000-P's Sacagawea Dollars on eBay for 40 or 50 bucks of their are speared eagles inside.

See my previous post. What if there is only one and it's in the middle?

That's why I say open them up. But there are collectors out there that just keep them unopened.

EDIT: Also if there is one in the middle, that coin could easily be a 66 or 67. If so, that's a $400, $500 or $600 roll you have there.

So, if someone is going to take your advice and “open them up”, back to my original question - why look for a little pimple than at the eagle?

I'll open my rolls someday...maybe when I retire.
I'm going to be a little upset if I've been sitting on a mule, but if I'm recently retired then the timing will be great.
...c'mon, there's a chance!

Thanks for sharing the die characteristic on the obverse of the wounded eagle. It’s nice to learn
other pick up points on varieties. Not that I’ve ever searched for that one. I’m more of a cheerio guy.

It is often asked:
"How many Cheerios 2000 dollars have been located out of rolls?"

Although Red is referred to as a "Forum Coin Prophet" by many members here, he mildly disagrees yet is flattered by this assessment. His answer to the above question is:

"None."

At least one actually.

That's why I started this thread. As I mentioned, there are people that don't open them up. This obv. die marker is an indicator (without opening it up), telling you the obv. ender is or isn't a speared eagle and what "might" be inside.

EDIT: I don't know, I could be wrong but I don't believe I've ever heard of this 2000-P Speared Eagle die marker mentioned before. I've looked at all me speared eagles, they all have it.

Like the die marker on the obv. of all the enhanced tail feather Cheerios dollars.

What’s die marker is on the Cheerios dollar out of curiosity?

Die marker, originally identified by @CaptHenway , is pictured here.

Not a roll question, but a sealed Cheerios coin(s) question...

Does anyone know any die markers for the 2000 P Wide AM cent?
There was talk in a thread some time ago about trying to get a double attribution of a Cheerios Cent/Wide AM.

I don't remember anyone ever posting one that got the double attribution.

I remember someone mentioning there is a die marker on the obverse for the 2000 P Wide AM
I've got some packaged Cheerios cents to check if anyone knows what that die marker is.

Slabbed 64s are $150 to make $200 for a PCGS 64

Edited to add: it's an interesting question how much money one loses by opening the rolls given that lose coins are basically face value.

I found two PCGS MS64 speared eagle sacs without any designation on the holder once.

Probably $35.00 in this case—

That's a quarter roll

@DesertCoin
You stated "located in rolls"

This collector located two in boxes and a single example in circulation (not in a roll):

"Joppa, Maryland, collector Cliff Long told Coin World that he had the unparalleled luck of finding three of the Cheerios dollars, two during the 2000 promotional period and one recently from general circulation."

If you are going to correct RED you should do so with a bit of accuracy and truth telling.

Disappointed with DC,
Red

Stupid waste of a thread...

I kind of agree, OP was telegraphic and posters didn’t read carefully.

Paid $45.00, if he found nada, worth ten. (Unless he sells single quarters).

I just searched a box of cents that I should have sold on eBay for at least $50.00. I found naught. That exercise cost me at least $25.00 and you .002¢ dividend payment.

He should never have opened a quarter roll looking for a speared eagle dollar.

“While en route to Newark International Airport in New Jersey to board their flight to Spain, Cliff decided to stop at a local bank to pick up two more rolls of small dollars. In one of those rolls, he discovered his third Cheerios dollar. ANACS has authenticated and graded that example About Uncirculated 55.”

If you are going to correct Desert Coin you should do so with a greater level of accuracy and only after having read the whole article.

Severely disappointed with RR,
DC

Red is turning Red.

Although Red is about to tell you that he meant mint-wrapped rolls.

Aside from Red saving Red's face, were any ever found in mint-wrapped rolls?

Not to my knowledge. However it’s not impossible. And there may well be less well publicized examples of roll funds that I didn’t find in a quick google search.

You want to have as much metal as possible at the airport.

It is my understanding that not all dollars found in Cheerios boxes had the pattern reverse, so the new/standard reverse was already appearing at that early date. Therefore, I'd be surprised if any pattern reverse dollars were left at the mint to go into rolls if they didn't even have enough to fill the Cheerios contract.

Correct, although the theory is that the non-pattern reverses were sent later as replacements for defective coins/packaging.
