<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 382486, member: 4381&quot;]Actually, it is illegal to own and market such things in Germany, and frankly, this stunt is nothing like that anyway.&nbsp; These are just like normal US coins, and the slabbing company, who never went to the world trade center, was never at the site when the buildings capable of housing nearly 100,000 people on a typical work day, and which utterly destroyed Manhattan when they were destroyed, is turning over a quick dollar by wrapping normal US coins in plastic.&nbsp; What possible collecting fantasy can this involve?&nbsp; If your to believe this story, which I tend to believe is a con anyway, some grading company slabs them as &#039;authenticated from the massacre of the World Trade Center&#039; and turns over a tidy profit out in Dumbtown, California on the fasination that some small number of neurotic morons have because these coins &quot;survived&quot; the 9-11 attacks.&nbsp; This doesn&#039;t even rank with a ship wreck treasure.&nbsp; If you wanted to compare it, it is like selling the soap made from human flesh from the Nazi the crematorias, or selling the lamp shades from the hair of Jewish women who were gased, not some Nazi coin.&nbsp; After the destruction of the Twin Towers a white ash blanketed the entire area, 2-4 inches deep.&nbsp; Some people scooped it up and kept it as a memorance.&nbsp; This I understood because of the&nbsp; deeply profound and emotional experience that the obliteration of the towers had on everyone involved.&nbsp; But selling these coins is just turning a cheap, and is an immoral con.&nbsp; And you can bet in over 100 years nobody will see it any differently.</p><p><br /></p><p>You want to buy something, I&#039;ll sell you my ripped shirt torn from the debris raining down on me that day.&nbsp; I&#039;ll send it to PGCS and bidding starts at $50,000.&nbsp; It still has my sweat and blood all over it and I&#039;ll autograph it for you as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>That has more historical significance that owning one of the hundreds of thousands of coins that were stored at the WTC vaults, maybe half the silver and gold in the city was stored there.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
