<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1260866, member: 5233"]Are you talking about the WTC coins? If so, do you know the history of those coins? They were recovered and slabbed as such. They were then sold to raise thousands of dollars in aid for the families affected by the attacks. Of course, they are now available on the secondary market...but everyone knew that would happen. Those coins sell for a premium because of their pedigree...just like coins from a shipwreck or a famous collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I have a problem with are people like those from the ad in the other thread. They are selling those coins for several times their market value and advertising like crazy as the 9/11 anniversary approaches. I think that is trying to exploit a tragedy and that is wrong. But the fact that a 2001 MS69 ASE is less expensive than a 2001 MS69 WTC ASE is just what the market has determined.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
