in the year 2063, most cointalk members will continue to think that every coin sells for a few dollars on ebay, unless of couse, they are the ones who are selling the coins. in the year 2063, most cointalk members will still be bragging about how many thousands of dollars they spend on any given coin, but they will still only offer no more than $20.00 to buy any given coin. in the year 2063, coins will probably be replaced with microchips.
RIP Canadian Nickel. With the end of production of the Canadian Nickel, will the US stop minting their Cent and Nickel as well?
I like the new healthcare 50 year commemorative coin. Kind of weirdly archaic that they made it out of metal however. I think the plastic Regan $5 coins are still worth collecting even though they have English writing on them. I am wondering if the new Praetor will lift the ban on silver ownership. My grandfather managed to hide some back when the government declared possession of silver coins or ammunition to be felony crimes and I know where he hid those ASEs when they searched. Acknowledged that they would have to be melted down or defaced (like almost everything) to remove the America label, but silver value may really take off from the regulated $49 an ounce price if the ban is abolished.
Post deleted. Political comment/sarcasm is still a rule violation in 2063, so no more political statements.

Highly unlikely I'll be here in 2063 either I'd be 87 and always been a hard working hard living type that can take both to extremes and I don't got a family history of longevity besides you'll all be buying my coin collection at my estate sale!!
I don't believe it, but who knows. https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...wGn6bA&usg=AFQjCNGij4iCZvz43YFd2e9hYqMxIXdwbw
I'd turn 90 in 2063. There's a slight chance that I might be around. My maternal grandfather lived to be 93, and two of my great grandmothers made it to 96.
Here is a more comprehensive article that a doctor would put more backing to on the same subject of telomerase in Humans. http://press.thelancet.com/lifestyletelomeres.pdf Basically it all comes down to choosing the right parents, and start living a healthy lifestyle at age of 18 and continue to do so. Since most here are over that age and fewer are maintaining a healthy life, it isn't something one can decide at 60 and expect results. Interesting that statins seem to be beneficial in many cases.
I spent way too many years drinking way too much while I've slowed down a lot I still like a couple beers and I live on a diet that consists largely of nearly raw steak salad potatoes pizza and deer meat when I got it plus my body's beat up I work hard doing physical labor why I can eat anything I want and stay in shape and my legs are held together with pins plates and other stuff that didn't start life in my body and nobody in my family's ever lived to be 80 not likely
i would not want to ever be 80 or 90 years old. i felt like an old man at most every age, even at younger ages, such as 18-29 years old. i have always thought, even since the age of maybe 5 years old, that it would have been better to have never existed in the first place. my father was a no good rapist and his insane actions forced me into existence. i really hate that sob.
Sorry to hear about that, but perhaps your frustrations are better expressed somewhere other than on a family-friendly coin forum...
"Well actually" if you develope enough diseases and ailments they'll all rush for the door competing against each other to be the one who gets you. But if there's too many them they'll get stuck in the door way and nothing will happen. This was well documented by Mr. Burn's doctor on the Homer Simpson show. Now, pass the salt please for my fries: "Excellent."
