Not a chance. I can't imagine why anyone, even if they were loaded, would spend a nickel extra for a 100th anniversary sticker and a strange colored lens.
Let's see a D820 or a Df2 at "regular" prices.
Again, it's not just a sticker, you do get some fancy little lens element display thing with it, and it's a serialized collector's item. I have no idea though if it's plastic or real lens elements. Color obviously is subjective, and nobody is forcing anyone to buy. If I reached 100 years of anything, I think I would probably want to commemorate it somehow.
An extra grand or so for a 100th anniversary edition is a steal compared to what some collectors pay for some far less valuable stuff:

Also their anniversary isn't until July 25th, they still have plenty of time to announce a new camera. Nobody is going to remember a standard, scheduled, camera release as marking their 100th anniversary anyway - but I do hope we see a D850 around then!
