<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 424781, member: 13650&quot;]You know, I think that&#039;s a great idea.&nbsp;&nbsp; If the profits could go to the families&nbsp; and they did it right.&nbsp; It would be a special set.&nbsp; &nbsp; I could see them doing something like a 3 coin silver dollar set.&nbsp; One for each site.&nbsp; &nbsp; I think the WTC site design should be the skyline with the two beams of light going up into the sky.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I was just on vacation last fall in PA and stopped by the Shanksville site.&nbsp; A&nbsp; lot of people there in the middle of nowhere on a weekday, from all over the country.&nbsp; Six years later.&nbsp;&nbsp; That memory wall/fence they have set up there would probably be an option for a coin.&nbsp; It&#039;s such a simple, messy thing but it symbolizes that site and you know what it is instantly.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I think they would sell out of this commemorative set in record time and you&#039;d see the prices on them skyrocket.&nbsp; &nbsp; I don&#039;t want to see everybody profiting off it.&nbsp; I just know that demand would likely far outweigh supply depending on what was minted.&nbsp;&nbsp; And why?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Well, how many people are interested in a coin commemorating the bicentenial of the Library of Congress?&nbsp;&nbsp; Or the West Point bicentennial?&nbsp;&nbsp; Or Little Rock Central Highschool Desegregation?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Now compare that with something as powerful as 9/11 that affected the entire world on a single morning, in recent history.&nbsp; And if not for a fleeting moment, briefly brought everybody closer together, albeit in tragedy.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Everybody including non-collectors would want the set.&nbsp;&nbsp; I just hope the mint comes up with excellent designs and hopefully forfeits the profits.&nbsp; Just because it would be the right thing to do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
