Interesting... how do they decide which is the obverse and reverse sides without a date? Or is the denomination next in line?

You're a very insightful guy aren't you.  Like a said; go haunt someone else's thread.  Do yourself a favor and stay off mine!

      VarietyPlus is described as "a comprehensive guide of NGC recognized varieties".  NGC will attribute "all varieties listed in the VarietyPlus catalog", which includes "most Cherrypicker varieties by FS numbers". Variety vs. Mint Error | NGC (ngccoin.com).  As this "Speared Eagle" variety is listed on VarietyPlus, NGC will attribute it as "Speared Eagle". In my experience, the label would also include the FS number, but if this is very important to you, you may want to check with NGC Customer Service or on the "Ask NGC/NCS forum.

    

Yes, it's very important to me.  I would like FS-901 put on this label.  I'll contact customer service.

If you submit the coin for Variety Plus services and pay the appropriate fee, then NGC will include the FS number on the label if it is a well known variety and they accept the FS number for the specific variety. I have several slabs graded with the appropriate FS number on them. Here is just one of them. You can check your coin in Variety Plus before submitting it to see what numbers they recognize for a specific variety. Note, NGC does not accept all of the numbers you may find on sites like Wexlers or from the Cherrypickers Guide.

 

 

Will they accept this one.  Where is the list of the ones they accept?

Does NGC put FS numbers on their labels?

There is a monumental difference! Watch...

Hey @Hoghead515 !  Guess what?  Here is a gen-u-wine counterfeit Henning (above left)! I don't know if it's been certified, but it's been slabbed!  They're out there!

At the risk of offending the sensibilities of some of the more temperamental types, rather than elaborate I am going to simply suggest that this subject is not all black and white. Numismatics should never yield to the temptation of issuing a blanket condemnation of any coin which fails to meet the standard of authenticity.  To me, there is a place in this hobby for "genuine counterfeits," counterfeit forgeries," and "contemporary counterfeits" as opposed to inartistic dreck. The publicity attendant to recognizing the '33 D.E. as an authorized legal issue was much ado about nothing. Every coin must be adjudged on the merits. There are some wonderful so-called Tribute coins out there that do not require a disclaimer. If a gold coin is rendered in 2 ozs. of pure silver, there is no reason to assume there is an intent to hoodwink or defraud others -- and require it be desecrated with the four-letter word, "COPY."  This is America! Here we have freedom of expression and artistic license. All who are inclined to agree, say Aye!

 

Hey-  Why don't you go haunt another thread somewhere and stay off mine!!

@tj96 I would assumed some of Cheerio gold dollars were probably spend and sent into circulation that’s only thing I can think of happened or folks tossed them in dresser and jewelry box …. It wasn’t discovered until much later they were scarce and worth some $$$$ to coin collectors , most of the general population is not aware of this ? What happened to boxes that did not sell at time with Cheerio coin inside every store removes expired boxes in timely manner
 

You might be right about the general public not being aware of these.  Most all collectors know about this coin and have been searching for them for 24 years.  From my calculation, very few have turned up.

I am going to answer your question, but not because you are twisting my arm and it hurts.  I took a lightning quick refresher course and picked up a thing or two. Let me ask you this. When these things were placed in cereal boxes, were they accompanied by any written statement and, if so, what did it say? What was the precise wording? The exterior of the boxes, I would imagine, were devoid of any hint as to what may have been placed inside, so that little bit of info would go a long way of indicating their final fate. Do you, or anyone know? 

I'm just wondering what thing or two you picked up with your lighting quick refresher course?

You need the precise wording?  The exterior of the box was not quite devoid of any hint as to what may have been placed inside.

This information does not go a long way to answering my question of indicating their final fate.   But maybe you can digest all this and come up with a answer. Good luck!

I hope you don't hold this against me, but for a number of excellent reasons, e.g. 1- being clads; 2- being manganese-brass (which gives it a creepy, greasy feel; and 3- relegating mottos to the edge, I am glad they sacked the sac's. Right now, one of the most beautiful designs produced by the Mint is not even released for circulation. If you want 'em, you have to buy 'em.  Now ain't that a kick in the head.  

It didn't actually answer my question but thank you for the feedback.

If I have this correct, there were 5,500 Sacagawea Dollar enhanced tail feather (Cheerio's Dollars) minted back in 2000.  That's 24 years ago!!

I checked and counted all three (PCGS, NGC and ANACS) pop reports. If I'm looking at the number correctly, there is a total of only 212 ever graded. 

Where are the rest?  Are you going to say; Still floating around in circulation?  In the bottom of sock draws? Still in the cereal boxes? 

I rarely see any "legitimate ones" for sale.

Your thoughts..

Damage all day long.

Thanks @Sandon !

What's the difference or what determines the difference between these two attributions?

It looks like some type of adhesive or epoxy. Acetone or some kind of paint thinner will probably remove it.

"New Sixth Edition of the CherryPickers' Guide to Rare Die Varieties of U.S. Coins," [which was slated to be released on Aug. 1, 2023 and make its debut at the ANA World's Fair of Money in Pittsburgh, PA., August 8-12, 2023]..

Check Whitman.com for more info.  It seems every book outlet ought to have been selling copies by now at every price range. You may have to check around to determine availability.

Note:  When reminding a member of a request for a PM, always include a point of reference such as this thread, date and the book of interest.

Please understand, I set aside a few moments out of my busy schedule managing earthquakes, landslides, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, global conflicts, the continued calving of Antarctica's Larsen Ice Shelf -- and monitoring newbies posting coins for sale on the wrong forum, to bring this information to you.  🤣

Edit:  Thank you, Sandon.

You're a busy man managing earthquakes, landslides, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, global conflicts, the continued calving of Antarctica's Larsen Ice Shelf from East Harlem!  🤣 😂

I'm busy out on the Island!

Yes, when you choose VarietyPlus on your submission form, FS-901 will be designated on the label as long as the coin qualifies for the variety designation, of course.

Thanks very much for the feedback.  My package has arrived at NGC.

No, not yet but I'll let you know.

Just curious if it relates to this coin ... 2000-P $1 Speared Eagle

That's the one.

Hey @tj96 - glad to see you over here.  Lot's of chatter ATS about you, and some were worried that something bad happened.  I am glad this is not the case and you are well.

I need an angel called Clarence Odbody to come down and help my!  😉

I'll guess you posted that on the ASK NGC forum. A mod has to review the question before others can see the thread. 

Yes I did.  Thank you. So I guess I should post the question here.

What does pending approval mean?
