>Maybe the double, half, etc. Pre 33 eagles will be if America is viewed as a Rome or Greece like nation in the future.
I've heard that America is analogous to Rome (large, powerful Hegemonic republic plagued by class struggle and decadance, gradually becoming empire) while Europe (smaller states that originated much of the bedrock of their culture, but have since stagnated after centuries of war with each other) is analogous to the Greek City States. Going off of the analogy most sought after coins for Europe will be mostly be from the Renaissance up to WWII (when Europe was relevant) and the most popular American coins will either be stuff that doesn't exist yet or the rarer coins from the 19th and early 20th Centuries.
Thalers/8 Reales/Crowns will almost definitely be our civilization's equivalent of Drachmae.
>I bet nazi coins will be worth a lot too. No doubt about that one.
Makes me wonder if Zinc Reichspfennigs will be extremely valuable in the distant future purely because nearly all of them will have corroded away into nothing by then.
>That explains why chibi coins and Bart Simpson coins stay for sale for so long on pmsforsale. They should be listed somewhere else.
I only realized that these coins weren't meant for traditional numismatists when I heard someone else here point it out a while ago.
If you ever encounter someone wanting to sell one of these coins in real life, I'd advise you to tell them to sell to a store specializing in collectibles so they get a semi-good deal instead of being laughed out of a Coin Shop.
