[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1861499, member: 5233"]I think these are an interesting piece of history. I have no problem with them carrying a premium because they are from a known historical event..."morbid" (as someone said) or not. To me, this is no different than the 1861-O Seated Liberty Half Dollar WB-102 variety (die crack). Because of the die marker on that coin...it is known to be from the same obverse die used to strike the CSA half dollar examples. Sure, the WB-102 was just a normal half dollar...but it has a unique tie to history that adds value in many people's eyes. Just because some of you aren't interested in the 9/11 connection to these coins...doesn't mean they don't carry a premium. Perhaps you wouldn't pay more...but many people would. Remember, something is worth what [B]someone[/B] (not necessarily you) is willing to pay. And, before it gets asked...no I do not own one of these coins and I never have.[/QUOTE]
