I finally decided that the coin needed to be graded so I chose PCGS. This is the primary reason I decided to not open the Cheerios package that contained the Sacagawea dollar and the cent. In the card world unopened material commands a premium. As part of my collection I have quite a few unopened packs dating back to the 1950’s. The better answer is that I am a collector of basketball and baseball cards and have used your sister company PSA quite often to get cards graded.

JH – Do you collect other coin series or only Sacagawea Dollars? I finally decided to submit it for grading because I knew it would have more value both being authenticated and graded. I was quite surprised to see that it was very likely a very rare coin because of the "enhanced tail feathers" and could potentially be very valuable. A few years ago, I found it in my desk and decided to look it up on-line to see if it had any value. I set the packaging aside in my desk and didn’t think about it for 15 years. I set it aside just thinking that something in its original packaging would have more value than if it was opened. Paul – It came out of my cereal box back in 1999-2000. JH – Hi Paul, how did you obtain the 2000 Cheerios Dollar and Cent? Did you find it or buy it? We were curious to know more about the submitter and how he obtained the coins, so we reached out to Paul from Seattle and he was delighted to share the story.
Since these coins rarely come through our facility, it is always a treat to handle a complete unopened Cheerios two-coin set. The Sacagawea Dollar received a grade of PCGS MS68 and the Lincoln Cent received a grade of PCGS MS67 Red. The coins arrived still sealed inside the Cheerios packaging and therefore qualified for the designation. Recently, a PCGS Collectors Club member from Seattle submitted a 2000 Lincoln Cent and Sacagawea Dollar to PCGS for grading with the ’Cheerios’ designation.
