<< <i>I agree with Runnersdad. I believe the majority of these coins were spent. Cheerios is a very popular cereal. Although I agree that most collectors would have held onto these as a novelty ( I kept 3-4 of the cents that I found as my wife eats Cheerios), most of the non-collectors out there would have taken that coin out of the holder....shown if off for a week or two....and then spent it. >>
Do you have any idea how small the chances are that any quantity of these will be pulled from circulation? Talk about the proverbial "needle in a haystack". >>
Especially when much of the haystack is locked up in bank and Federal Reserve vaults. TD

does anyone else think its a huge risk because of the tamper factor that could be involved? Cant be too hard to dupe packaging these days... crappy pics, anyone know if the die marker is visible? Im not sure but I thought there was one.
<< <i>Could the packaging be x-rayed to see the reverse details >>
...and risk damaging perfectly good cheerios?

Interesting that nobody has even nibbled at this offer. That should tell us something about the market value.
