2000-P Cheerios Sacagawea Dollar FS-902

Documented Fact FS-902 is the 2000-P Sacagawea dollar prototype reverse associated with the Cheerios promotion. Its defining reverse has pronounced vein or rib detail in the eagle’s tail feathers. ^{[1] [2]}

Quick Hunt

1. Confirm a 2000-P Sacagawea dollar.
2. Inspect the central tail feathers on the reverse under sharp magnification.
3. Look for the pronounced raised vein pattern absent from ordinary production reverses.
4. Match the exact feather layout to certified FS-902 examples; packaging alone is supporting provenance, not the diagnostic.

Primary Diagnostic

The detailed tail-feather veins establish the prototype reverse. Not every dollar distributed through Cheerios necessarily proves FS-902 without the reverse markers, and a loose coin requires direct diagnostic comparison.

What It Is Not

Ordinary 2000-P dollars lack the same pronounced tail-feather ribbing. Scratches, die polish, and digital sharpening do not form the organized feather pattern.

Authentication Caution

Use stable magnification and several lighting angles. Match the complete diagnostic relationship to certified examples, do not clean or alter the coin, and obtain professional authentication before paying a substantial premium.
