- 2000-P Sacagawea "Cheerios" Dollar. MS-66 (PCGS). A Premium Gem example of one of the most fascinating and rare modern varieties in existence, this frosty piece has surfaces free of spots, toning, or handling. Early in 2000, General Mills, makers of Cheerios breakfast cereal, coupled with the U.S. Mint to place new Sacagawea dollars in boxes of their cereal and heighten the nation's awareness of the coin. Some 10 million boxes of Cheerios were part of the promotion, each containing a newly minted Lincoln cent. Another 5,500 boxes also contained a 2000-dated Sacagawea dollar. Unbeknownst to people at the time, the "Cheerios" dollar had a different reverse die than the regular circulation strikes, with the eagle's tail feathers on the reverse enhanced in their detail. While at least 5,500 of the pieces were struck for the promotion (making them roughly four times more rare than the famous 1955 doubled die Lincoln cent) their value has risen steadily owing to the fact that very few Cheerios dollars have surfaced. A must have for any serious collector of modern varieties. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. PCGS# 411990. NGC ID: 282K. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
