Description

The listing, Unopened Cheerios cent has ended.

This is for an unopened penny from Cheerios. They came in cereal in 2000. The back is the Certificate of Authenticity. Minted in Philadelphia. It is one of the first coins to be produced by the Mint and was packaged as a special memento of the new millennium. Thanks God Bless

Questions & Comments

They also had special quarters during this promotion. I won 100.00 that way but none were what the collectors later were looking for.

Although Cheerios Pennies are generally nothing special, a small percentage have been found to have come from dies meant for Proof pennies, and they have the "Wide AM" reverse die type. The average Cheerios Penny which is still on its card is worth about $5 on eBay. (A 2000 Lincoln Cent that is not on the sealed Cheerios card is only worth face value.)

This variety is known for 3 dates, 1998, 1999, and 2000, with 1999 being by far the rarest. The mint erroneously used a proof die to strike normal circulation coins.

How to Detect: The AM in AMERICA on the reverse is clearly separated in the Wide variety. In the normal variety for these dates, the letters AM are very close or touching.

Approximate Value: $5 to $25 in circulated condition, $75 to $600 in MS-63 or better depending on color. 1999 brings the highest prices, with 2000 being second.

Wheres the Sacagawea dollar? That came in that Cheerios box.

they did come in some but not these. These are just the single cents. Same as I won 100.00 of the Sacagawea dollars but it was a coupon and I had to send it in to redeem. There were some that came as the dollar and cent together but I didn't win any of those. Wish I had. lol
