What is in the old plastic? Low grade common date Morgan Dollars, Peace Dollars, Walking Liberty Half, and Mercury Dimes aren’t going to be the best performers. Most clad coins won’t either. Top pop clad may very well be different (and many already are). Look at the prices many gem clad Ike’s bring; the prices aren’t far from common gem Morgan Dollars. I could see some clad Washington quarters (pre 1999) do the same.
If it comes to a low pop top superb gem 1960s-early 1980s Washington or a MS63 1940s common date Mercury dime in a rattler, I’d put my money on the quarter. And I’m not a big fan of clad either.
i'm only interested in the next 35 years, i won't be around in 60 years, pre-33 gold slabs will be unaffordable
Doesn’t matter to me,,,,, I will be long dead by then 😢
Gold.
Dang, it feels weird to know I won't be collecting coins 60 years from now. Even (likely) 30 years from now.

I will be dust in the wind, by then.....
The difference from 1939 to 1980 is the same as from 1980 to 2021............Let THAT sink in.

I'll be dead and gone by then (or at least not remember anything)
Im another who'll be pushing up Daisies....so it doesn't matter. But if it did matter ill take an old photo slab over anything modern from the mint.
To me thers not much passed 1964 that would float my boat....from the mint.

More value to whom?
great question, the value 60 years from now for people that are alive 60 years from now.
this thread got kind of morbid, any reason members are feeling the Reaper today?
I already have in my will to have ten morgans to be placed in my urn so when I am dug up a thousand years from now some farmer will get paid🤣

Not much of a choice. I wouldn't count on much from either.
I like to tell people that 2 of my grandparents were born in the 1880's and then watch them trying to do the math in their head.

I am in my 60's,,,,,,, my 120's seems like a bit of a stretch,,,,,,, but if I make it I will TTT this thread and have a HUGE giveaway.
Somebody will have to remind me,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Is it too early to ask to be included in your giveaway?

More value to whom?> @CopperWire said:
Then I would say it would be the same kind of coins that were seen as valuable 60 years ago. The rare coins in rare states of preservation will be the most valuable and sought after. Coins that have intrinsic value will probably still be desirable to a lesser degree.
The rest, who knows? It all depends on how society views cash in general at that point. My guess is most of it will not have much value except to historians, nostalgic people, or those interested in heritage/ancestry.

60 years is so far away it's not really relevant even to those who are young enough to likely be here under current actuarial estimates. I won't be one of them. The next 10 or 20 years are a lot more relevant.
There are also going to be numerous broader economic and social changes which are far more important than anything that happens within the hobby. I expect these to be mostly negative for the price level, as I see a lot more instability in the next 60 years versus my entire life to this point.
Eliminating coinage or a cashless society is one of many possible changes.

I created this poll to be a lighthearted exploration of what the future holds. Instead I learned that 90% of posters have one foot in the grave. an interesting study to say the least.
Considering the resources required to meaningfully collect that shouldn’t be surprising. Except for some YNs, most of us won’t be around then. You might have gotten more of what you were looking for with 20-25 years.
that makes sense TurtleCat
I can provide many examples of what I think may possibly happen which will impact collecting, but much of it completely outside the scope of this forum to say the least.
Crap. We must think about the same things. I think about things like this when I let my mind wander...
I was thinking the same thing..
I'll cast my vote for
C. Pre-1816 type coins in practically any decent condition.
