Dockwalliper Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 This is the fifth "Cheerios" Sacky I have seen auctioned on eBay.. http://cgi.ebay.com/SACAGAWEA-GOLD-DOLLAR-...1QQcmdZViewItem Funny thing is.......this is the third one that has been local to me. The General Mills plant where Cheerios are packaged is in Buffalo. The first coin was in Lakeview, about 15 mins south The next was in Niagara Falls, about 20 mins North Now this one is in Cheektowaga, Less than 10 mins East. Coincidence?????

Dockwalliper Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Looks like this one won't make reserve. New seller, 0 feedback and he thinks its made of "Gold". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dockwalliper Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Hmmmm. Maybe someone should check employee history. I had the chance to talk with the first seller (across the street). He said he didn't work for General Mills and was a teenager when he got the coin. Remembered he had it when he stumbled across a story about the Cheerios Sacky and dug it from a box of Baseball cards and stuff in his attic.

Dockwalliper Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 To give you an idea just how close these are.... The Green box is the factory. Red are the 3 coins. I'm the Blue box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 50cents Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Does the picture of the last auction and the current auction look the same to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 To give you an idea just how close these are....... The Green box is the factory. Red are the 3 coins. I'm the Blue box. Well, I have been fairly close to you a few times then. I have taken a few road trips between the US and Canada, passing through Buffalo. My wife and I once even camped at the KOA on Grand Island.
