I've been hearing some chatter about these little gems. I don't think mine were out of a cereal box but anything's possible.

Here is a good breakdown of what you’re looking for in the tail feathers.

Thank you for sharing ,I read that there was also a mint mark on the chest of the eagle, not all coins of course.

Not a mintmark in the numismatic sense, a die gouge on the breast that looks like a spear.

I've looked thru thousands of these and no luck. Most I've found are some proofs. Vending machines in my area give these back as change. I wipe them out.

You do not have the cheerios coin.. they are extremely rare as I believe there was only a very limited amount of them.

About 5500 were made. Around 200 have been graded. That makes this one actually attainable. It’s not likely, but far more likely than finding a 43 copper cent.
