<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1578409, member: 41863&quot;]I dont understand all the hostility surrounding these coins and how people figure they wont be collectible. I was intrigued by this particular coin as well so I bought one (paid about $100 for it). It is a nice coin, and these are slabbed with that particular label because they were recovered from the vault beneath the World Trade Center AFTER they collapsed. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think this coin DOES have some value because it is different than ALL the other ASEs. This one was in a particular place where the worst loss of American Lives has happened in recent history on OUR own sovereign soil. To me it is no different than collecting money from Pearl Harbor or from a shipwreck. It is a significant marker of history and has a story to tell more so than any other coin from the last 50 years. I know alot of people collect coins because of the stories they could tell and the history behind them, just like&nbsp; the Morgan dollar. People collect those because they are beautiful and lots of folks attribute them to the old Cowboys and Outlaws with likely stealing and hoarding the Morgans. To me this ASE is no different. It has a story to tell and a verified place that its been. How could it not be worth more than a regular ol&#039; silver eagle that just made its transit from the mint to your collection. Mine has actually been somewhere and seen some things (for instance mine has some small brown spots that are on the coin, likely rust, but could it be blood from those that perished, or drops of sweat from the recovery workers, how about fuel from the planes? what is your eagles story?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Then of course theres that theme that all collectors tell one another: &#039;Collect what YOU like&#039; as long as YOU get enjoyment and appreciate the coin, buy whatever strike your fancy (within budget and reason)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
