Coin Collecting...100 years from now.

ambro51ambro51 Posts: 13,775 ✭✭✭✭✭
Collectors will be amazed at the ease which proof coinage from the past can be obtained.

US Government will STILL have hoards of unreleased $1 coins, much the same as the bags of Morgan Dollars.

Zinc Business strike cents will be nearly impossible to find in collector grades.

Gold coins will be eagerly sought and valued at astronomical prices.

PCGS and NCG slabbed coins from "back in the day" will hold huge premium values.

Large Cents will be the 'hottest' vintage coin series.

TPG techniques will include argon filled slabs with advanced RFID type identification.

    Coins, which disappeared from use in the 2020's when cash transactions were outlawed, are a curiosity item that are saved by a few eccentric types.

    Going as a wild guess, I would say in 100 years a Presidential dollar would be worth about a penny in today's value after the hyperinflation happens and debt crisis, much like people that traveled in mexico a few years back have gobs of worthless money from that country.

    Nearly all of the clad coinage except for very highest grades has long been melted for scrap or turned into the government for conversion at a penny on the dollar.

    Gold coins are what maintained their value, the spouse coins that nobody wanted, especially the Liberty ones sell for decent premiums. 2008 w Gold buffalo coins are most valuable.

    Many collectors of non-gold classics got burned in the hyperinflation, with values of collections plunging 500% or more.

    When coin dealers say some coin collections are only worth melt, they really are, and that is non-gold.image

    In 2110 collectors and dealers will still look down their nose at any coin minted after 1964 [clads] as Modern Crapimage

    Further going to a coin show held on 12-16-2110 and cruising the bourse in you personal, antigravity, single seat, convertible, mini hovercraft, with built in felt tray, halogen light, variable loupe/scanning electron microscope/sniffer/net connection/hi-def 3D plasma screen/mini-bar you will:

    a. still see dealers wearing shirts that have mustard stains on them; and

    b. will receive a U.S. Coin Forum news flash/update from SanctionIV [my then 70 year old grandson] that the 156 year old judge in the Langbord lawsuit has finally issued a ruling [from his bed inside of his hermetically sealed chambers at the US Courthouse in Philly] on the two pending motions that were submitted to him for decision on 12-16-2009 and that he has also set a trial date in the case for August 16, 2177 [the 200th anniversary of the death of Elvis]imageimageimage

    the human element will be removed from all of people's behavior by then.

    "Apps" will replace all human thoughts, education, memory, and judgment.

    A robot will evaluate the collectible item, negotiate price and terms, issue debt and derivatives against it, float them in the market where they will be automatically packaged and sold to other Apps, and all this will happen in a fraction of a second and all the computing power will be maintained in the Computer Cloud.

    the actual humans will look and act a lot like the "people" characters in the movie "Wall-E": very rotund, very lazy, everything put in their reach and done for them automatically

    All rare coins will be stored in a sealed containment zone in the Nevada desert. Collectors will buy and sell ownership in the coins and compete for set registries by assembling the images of the coins. Only counterfeits, doctored coins and Native American dollars (still in production) will be available to "touch". Coins to be used as money are a memory except in Ecuador, where counterfeit Native American dollars still circulate freely for use in the stalls where you can park your Segway.

    The smallest coin in circulation, $1 Michelle Obama coin, has plenty of detractors who claim that it is no longer practical to have an aluminum coin in circulation as it now costs $2 to make one $1 coin. The US Treasury made one Trillion $1 coins in the previous year and is thinking of cutting back to help save on the $14 Quadrillion Dollar deficit
  • EagleEyeEagleEye Posts: 7,677 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Hey, dbcoin a deficit at only 14000 times the smallest coin of the nation? That would translate to today's deficit at only $140. Cool huh?

    Hey, dbcoin a deficit at only 14000 times the smallest coin of the nation? That would translate to today's deficit at only $140. Cool huh?

    check your math

    1 Quadrillion is 1000 Trillion

    Smallest coin in circ now is 1c, smallest coin 100 years from now $1 = 100X greater

    Debt now is $14Trillion
    Debt 100 years from now $14Quadrillion is 1000X greater

    So actual debt has grown by 10X over smallest coin. Seems reasonable. Lets have our great, great, grandkids meet at that years ANA and settle a bet. David Hall IV can be the arbitrator. What say you?image

    I will also predict the following


    The population of the United States will be 46 million people. The Great Chinese War, which took place from 2019 to 2028...had an unfavorable outcome.

    Most people will get around on horseback, or bicycle.

    The country will be divided into six zones, each ruled by a Lord appointed by Bejing.

    Flying home made Kites will be the most popular hobby.

    Native Americans, Indians....will account for 30 percent of the population.

    Sasquatch, having been discovered alive in 2050, will become mainstream and by 2098 will dominate sports.

    A.P.

    Since the Coin Repeal Act of 2109, the
    Separated States have been scrambling
    to put in redemption centers to handle
    the influx of coins being surrendered by
    all S.S. citizens.

    It has been estimated that over 14.5
    billion coins have already been surrendered
    and the Separated States Investigation Unit
    expect at least twice that number still remain
    at large. To find a redemption center near
    your area, contact your local Partisan Leader,
    which are assigned to every precinct.

    Your co-operation is expected.

  • 100 years from now, I will have recently died after returning from my honeymoon with my 24 year old, fourth wife. Who will then proceed to sell my entire collection of early 20th century gold on Craigslist. For which she will receive a certified check in the amount of $ 1,000,000 and all she will have to do is send the gold to Nigeria along with a $5000 brokers fee to complete the transaction. Okay, I've just decided to stay with wife # 1.

  • Actually, I wonder where my coins will be in 100 years. None of my relatives have an interest in them. Most don't even know I have them. I wonder how many will still exist. Wonder if any will still be in the slabs in which they currently reside.

    The question of if coins would still be collected. What would the minters of old store tokens think if they knew what 1 of there tokens was selling for now. As long as there are people there will be collectors. It is in our nature to gather things. Some gather coin, some sports cards, some Depression Glass, etc. etc.

    Collect for the love of the hobby, the beauty of the coins, and enjoy the ride.

    100 years from now, there will be no circulating coinage anywhere. The current fiat system collapsed in 2030. The debt of 250 trillion has been deleted by a few key strokes. All gold and silver has been seized by the Machine. Every human will have a microchip inserted in there wrist, everything is a digital purchase. Your employer will add digital units to it every week. Point of sale swipe devices will be in every home and business, and humans will have the ability to swap digi dollars from person to person. The coin hobby was wiped out by counterfeits. The fakes were so good experts couldn't disern the fake slab from the genuine one. This also wiped out the counterfeiters themselves. Old credit cards are now the hot collectable, as the Machine purchased all the CC companies after there failure. Sounds like a Ray Bradbury novel.
