Spent $230 on a ASE!

Wow. That's very close. Definitely something you will never forget. Did you hear the explosion?

Heard what sounded like a dull "thud" but that was from nearly a mile away. I had the radio on and knew about the towers, so I knew what it was just didn't know where but suspected the Pentagon.

 

I recently watched the CNN as it happened footage from that morning. Here it is actually:



It was a wild day. It was a shock when the 2nd tower got hit. It was obvious at that moment we were under attack. Then there were reports of Pentagon on fire and then a 4th plane highjacked. Then military jets were flying over D.C. and reports that the White House was a target. Just crazy.

 

In my 9th or 10th grade science class

 

I think PCGS are scumbags for participating in the profiting of a national disaster. Their is NOTHING significant about those eagles. They literally are making money solely based on the fact that these coins were buried under American victims of terrorism. Profiting on pain and capitalizing on emotion. Just another reason I will NEVER buy a coin slabbed by PCGS.

 

Shoot. Tell us how you really feel Rysherms.........

 

Actually no, they are not. They are just printing the label as requested by the persons submitting them for encapsulation. The fee they charged for that custom label was the same for any other custom label they printed. The people who are truly making the money off of these are the ones who recovered the bullion from the site.

 

you know you can goto most newspaper and order back issues of newspapers and stuff and pcgs cand provide documentation as to how many coins where slabb

 

brief time line

1 November 2001 the works at The World Trade Center reaches the Iron Mountain Vault

1 November - 1 December 2001 Coins are sent to Collectors Universe for certification. Collectors Universe does not grade coins and so the coins are only listed as "Gem Uncirculated" and the coin and series numbers are not on the label. At first these coins are sold by dealers that are advertising that a portion of the sale price would go to the relief funds for the families. Several different types and dates of coins appeared in these holders.

1 December 2001 PCGS gets into the picture and start grading coins from ground zero, but at first only gold and silver coins from 2001 are graded. The grade coins being slab by PCGS has both barcode and serial number on the back and many has series number on them (1 of ???) . The barcode is hidden behind the hologram. At first this series only consisted of MS-69 2001 gold and silver 1 oz eagles.

January 2002-June 2002 PCGS start grading all kinds of dates, types, grades, and special "limited editions" coins from many different countries. The PCGS version came out about 4 months after the attack and all the varieties and limited editions more than a year after the attack.

January 2004 WTC coins start getting included in PCGS registry sets at first PCGS has a hard time finding the coins in their database but at the end they do and people are registering the WTC coins in their sets.

January 2002 - Present On going talks about these coins if they are "death coins" or a part of history is going on as the coins increases in value compared to other PCGS graded coins from the same year.

 

I was going to work @ wtc

 

I was on my couch, still a civilian. Got a call from my mom to turn the tv on. Thiswas tee first one was hit and before the second one. Can't say this is solely why I enlisted, but it was part.

 

Whoa!

 

1. Some money men (3 people I think) get the coins out of the vault and PCGS certifies the coins, but there is nobody that will tell us what the population of these coins are, well somebody has to know right ? I would say there a big chance these 3 people that made the first deal will know the numbers. Second PCGS knows the numbers (bar code on coins) on MS coins that I know of. Some of the Gem Uncirculated do not have bar code on them. Still a company like PCGS a great company will have the numbers on these coins but its not available.

My best estimate of total numbers of coins recovered is 10,000 to 15,000 coins ( 5,000 coins of the 10 Pesos from Uruguay is confirmed) I bet nobody knew about that. What where they doing there? How can it be worth the money to certify 5000 of the same coin?

My only purpose with the website is to know about the history of the coins and document it for people later wanting to know. I am not sell anything or telling people to buy these coin. I know me talking about the coins might get the people selling the coins a better market but I need the information for the website.

 

yea I use to manage a cell phone stand, thank god I was late for work

 

i pissed my pants an cried..( literally)

 

im trying to get hard documentation from pcgs I need to put in a request..
