Knox two months before the towers were destroyed?</p><p>Here&#039;s the complete story on all 11 coins<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (although I guess there were actually 12 if you count the one that&#039;s owned by the Smithsonian)</p><p><a href="http://experts.about.com/e/0/1933_Double_Eagle.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://experts.about.com/e/0/1933_Double_Eagle.htm" rel="nofollow">http://experts.about.com/e/0/1933_Double_Eagle.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
