How will collectors react to the Sacs in 100 years?

Just some idle speculation. The coin has a very delicate finish, and marks easily. It also has a tendency to discolor. It is going to be a short lived series, and the coin has color. It seems to be largely disliked by the public, so it's likely not many will be treated well over the next 10-15 years. It might very well be the most interesting coin of our period. Wouldn't that be ironic.

there will be Marty's great great grandson who will be finding them in small country town coin shops and having them slabbed by PCGSNGC and making MILLONS off of them!

In 100 years people who look at the Sac Dollar for the first time will have only 1 thing on their minds:

Where to dispense of their Projectile Emesis!

I have mint rolls of these so there will be more than a few that will be saved in prime condition.

I am curious to see what the roll toning will look like in 20 years or so. i suspect there are going to be some wild looking coins. Maybe I should start a whitman folder with a bunch of MS ones and see how they tone.

I better keep that roll I bought from Internation House of Pancakes when they were giving them out in change. BTW, getting one of them in change from IHOP was what got me interested in coin collecting again.

For silver and gold, I use Zorb-it. Its not a desicant like those silicon gels, but rather a environment control pack that controls humidity and lasts for 10 years. www.zorb-it.com

I agree that the coin is delecate, and that 100 years from now there may be few pristine examples.

BUT it could be like the political sulfides that were issued during the 1840 presidential election. Some political collectors love them. I won't touch one with an 8 foot pole and would never buy one at a high price. Why? Because they are very delecate and could break of flake off at any time. One break or flake could cost you several hundred dollars, which is a large part of the value.

That sackie dollar could be like that in the future too. Finest known today; one spot appears; and you have got a run of the mill example at no fault of your own.
