1926 Sesquicentennial Gold 2.5 Dollar

Any thoughts or predictions if the 1926 Sesquicentennial Gold 2.5 dollar will see a spike in pricing in 2026? Similar to what we witnessed with the price increases for the 1921 Peace dollar in 2021? Or if a new Gold dollar will be a product at the US MINT for this anniversary in 2026? It’s interesting how some anniversaries for certain coin see price increases in the market.

I doubt it, it’s not common to think of Sesquicentennials, but would be nice since I own one

I'm a Philly guy and always have one.

I would not count on a spike in demand for these coins based on the anniversary, remember the classic commemorative boom that was going to result from 100 million Americans pulling state quarters out of circulation.

I doubt that we will see any big spikes in price for the Sesquicentennial $2.50. I like the coin a lot, but that is a minority opinion. I remember years ago I mentioned the coin to a well-known Boston dealer, and he made the sign of the cross, like he was warding off a vampire.

These coins are prone to marks on Miss Liberty's body, and most of them have copper spots. I've looked for the "perfect one" for years and never found it. I suppose of I were willing to pay five to ten times the price for a "normal one" I might get something, but I haven't even seen that piece.

Here's mine. The dealer from whom I purchased this piece must of have had 50 of them in stock. I picked this one.
