Hi Guys,


Does anyone know if there are any books available about this subject?


It would be really great if such a book existed, which basically gave a history about the WTC vault, and the recovery of the coins, what happened to them once they`d been recovered, and a list of all the xamples available, maybe with colour photos? Just a thought if one hasn`t been published then someone with a bit of time & knowledge…

GS Welcome to this forum first of all I am glad you found it. Well I have hear talk about a book on the WTC coins if or when it comes out I am not sure. I hope that it will come out even if PCGS made it with pictures of all the coins and population numbers.


Anyway thanks for joining the forum and hope you will send me pictures if the coins that you have are not up.

Hi GS

Don't mean to impose but since I am administrator it gives me the righ

to edit post. I looked at your image and when you take the url from

image shac you have to take the url called “Direct” that URL will work.

Available in ebook…

Closure Summary:

“One of the four Operations Commanders of the World Trade Center site chronicles the rescue and recovery mission at Ground Zero from September 11, 2001, through the end of operations on May 30, 2002, while telling the story of his own struggle to make peace with all that he saw there. On the morning of 9/11, the Port Authority Police Department was the first uniformed service to respond to the attack on the World Trade Center. When the towers collapsed, thirty-seven of its officers were killed — the largest loss of law enforcement officers in U.S. history. That afternoon, Lieutenant William Keegan began the work of recovery. The FDNY and NYPD had the territory, but Keegan had the map. PA cops could stand on top of six stories of debris and point to where a stairwell had been; they used PATH tunnels to enter “”the pile”" from underneath. Closure includes many never-before-told stories, including how Keegan and his officers recovered 1,000 tons of gold and silver from a secret vault to keep the Commodities Exchange from crashing; discovered what appeared to be a black box from one of the planes that hit the towers; and helped raise the inspirational steel beam cross that has become the site's icon. For nine brutal months, the men at Ground Zero wrestled with 1.8 million tons of shattered concrete, twisted steel, body parts, political pressure, and their own grief. Closure tells the unforgettable story of their sacrifice and valor, and how Keegan led the smallest of all the uniformed services at the site to become the most valuable. ”
