<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1859067, member: 66&quot;]They are legitimate.&nbsp; PCGS was not there at the recovery, the salvagers recovered the coins and took them directly to PCGS signing affidavits that they were from the recovery site.&nbsp; As mentioned the vaults they were recovered from was NOT under the collapsed towers but were from one of the other building on the site.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are two different varieties of this slab.&nbsp; The first ones slabbed were NOT officially done by PCGS.&nbsp; They were done by Collectors Universe using PCGS shells.&nbsp; Collectors Universe is the parent company that owns PCGS.&nbsp; All of those coins were dated 2001, they do not have grades just Gem Uncirculated, and they have the Collectors Universe logo on the back not the PCGS logo or hologram.&nbsp; A portion of all the sales of those coins went to the victims funds.&nbsp; The slab you pictured is one of these slabs.&nbsp; Your slab will not be one of these.</p><p><br /></p><p>About two months later PCGS got into the act slabbing the recovered coins under their own name with grades and their own hologram and logo on the back.&nbsp; At first all of these coins were dated 2001 as well.&nbsp; After about 6 months all the other stuff started showing up in the PCGS WTC Recovery slabs.&nbsp; Other dates of silver and gold eagles, foreign coins, gold, silver, and platium one oz bars etc.&nbsp; None of the proceeds from the sale of the PCGS slabs went to the victim funds.&nbsp; So your 1991 ASE would have been slabbed somewhere around nine months or later after the fall of the towers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
