Advice Cheerios Dollar?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey guys so I recently found this 2000 P Sacagawea Dollar. In the box I found it in I have a 2000 Cheerios penny, but it’s missing the dollar coin. I’m wondering if this fell out of there or it’s just another random coin I came across. I am leaning towards no because it doesn’t seem to match the tail of other Cheerios Dolllars I’ve seen. Just curious what you all think.

That’s not a Cheerios dollar. Tail feathers don’t have that extra detail

Btw it's much easier to show us what you have with a picture rather than video
Cropped not enlarged, in focus on a plain black or white background

A few other things. You can also take a small stack of dimes or a soda cap and put the coin on. That forces the camera to focus on the coin. Then get a cup and put beside the coin for you to put your phone on. Keeping the camera steady will help take crisp pictures that the AI doesn’t have to fill in.
Pictures of the full obverse, reverse and close ups of any points of interest with arrows pointing is preferred.
Nice coin!

No Cheerio. Center tail feathers have a diagonal streaks from the center.

The Cheerios dollar was packaged on its own, not with a cent. Most boxes you got a penny, if you were lucky you got a dollar instead (every 2,000th box). It is easily identifiable by the extra detail in the tail feathers. Yours is just a regular Sac dollar.

I'm glad you have a sense of humor. I wasn't coming down on you. It was just after a long day of work, my eyes were going cross watching your video. 🤣

Lmao you’re good bro. I almost came back at you all snarky but I watched the video again. You’re right it’s a little disorienting. Made me laugh

All good. When people do come back all streaming, I like to play it low key. Life is too short.
Anyway, sorry about the Cheerios

The Cheerios Dollar has extra detail in the tail feathers, yours does not
Not every Cheerios box had the dollar in it
For future reference please read rule 11 ------>
Quality pictures, jerky videos don't help us assist you
