Message:: [QUOTE="Midas, post: 148630, member: 2761"]Actually, the only coins that should be associated with the WTC islamic terrorist attacks of 9/11 are those recoverd at the basement vault.  Here's what happened: On the night of November 1, 2001 as the work proceeded on the ground zero clean up the workers made there way to the vault and with little fanfare a caravan of Brinks armored trucks hauled the bullion to another Comex  vault.  Some of the silver eagles and a small amount of gold was sent directly to the Professional Coin Grading Service.   These coins were sealed in their slabs with a certificate of authentication and designation certifiying that the coin is one of the few that was excavated from the World Trade Center site.  Here's what one looks like in the PCGS slab: <img src="http://www.olympusgold.com/WTC_Eagles_-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> Some are "graded" as above and I also seen many graded MS69.  Remember, PCGS was the only TPG that graded and certified these coins.  All others are pretty much "junk" as described.  Matter of fact, this outfit was shut down because of fraud and other complaints so buyer beware if you see one of these "freedom" towers" tokens floating around. I own a $5 gold Eagle (dated 2001) and two silver eagles (both dated 2001 as well).  This is my own piece of history whereby  I can tell the story to others about how our country was attacked (again) by these terrorists![/QUOTE]
