What Is Interesting About This WTC Coin

So I was looking over the current auctions of WTC coins on Ebay I guess I can now call it a hobby of mine as I do it often. Well I see this 1999 WTC $50 gold eagle at a crazy price of $6,000 and I am thinking what is this. Well this guy does not know what he has, and he thinks his $1,600 coin is worth $6,000. As he tells people in the description that its a very rare coin in the WTC coin collection. Anybody that follow Ebay auctions for these coins will know its probably one of the most auction off coins in the $50 WTC coins. I would think that 150 - 500 coins are out there in the grade MS69.

Any way I have a quick laugh about his description and I have a look at his pictures.

Great pictures by the way, if you need to click on the picture to see it in full size you will see the finger print left on the coin in the top right of the coin. Now I can't say that its on the coin, or if its on the holder. But if its on the coin it self it would be what I would highlight if I was selling this coin on Ebay. If he has a finger print of a worker that helped get the coins out of the WTC I would say that some collectors (me included) would think that is pretty cool to have in my collection.

Anyway as always here is his auction

WTC 1998 1 oz philharmonic

Just in time for the 9th Anniversary of the 911 devastating attack on the World Trade Center in New York, comes the coin up for sale, that has been eluded us all for so long. The 1 oz 1998 1 oz Philharmonic 1 of 140, I wish it was not out of my price range but it is. I would love to have that coin for my collection as it is truly the center piece of any WTC collection, but its just to much money for me. I would trade this website for that coin that is how much I want it. But I think I will have to wait for a better time to go after a jewel like this.

WTC 1998 1 oz Philharmonic

WTC 1998 1 oz philharmonic  Most Elusive WTC Coin

There are so many stories about this coin,  and how many of the 140 coins are still in the country. Its hard to know what story is true, but I have hear the following and I am taking no blame if the story is not true but it was told to me by a reliable source. There are 2 of these coins still in USA, the rest has been bough by the Austrian government and melted down as they did not like their coins to be associated with the 911 recovery coins. One would ask if this was the truth why would the small coin the 200 Sch. not be in the same boat, and we know those coins are around. I don't know the answer to that question but I do know that this is the first time in 4 years I have ever seen a wtc 1998 1 oz philharmonic 1 of 140 for sale on ebay.

You can check out the auction here.

So what will the coin go for ? I am not sure but I have already bid the coin to a level where I could not be in it anymore. Maybe 6k maybe 10k I am not sure but we will find out in 7 days.

New WTC coin Never Seen Before

So this to me is a new coin in the WTC coin collection, its the 1 of 12 2001 silver eagle.

A very special WTC Ground Zero Recovery find!

On November 11, 2001 two months after the disaster, this 2001 American Silver Eagle was among those found within the vault. They were taken away by Brinks to a storage facility and subsequently graded by PCGS. There are only 12 of these in existence. This is the most rare silver eagle from a limited grouping of all WTC silver eagles.

This coin is part of a two piece set which was comprised of this coin along with a one ounce Credit Suisse Gold Ingot also marked "1 of 12". Being a "1 of 12" set, obviously there are only 12 that exist slabbed and certified by PCGS. Of the 12 sets that existed, 9 of those 12 sets were owned by one person who's secretary accidentally shipped the 1 of 12 Silver Eagles out as normal 2001 Silver Gem Unc Eagles.  Who knows if or when the others will ever surface as they are probably tucked away just as that ..... normal silver 2001 Gem Unc Eagles. We only have one and what a find this coin is! Link to Auction

PCGS Error On Slabs from WTC

So I think I have talked about the error's that PCGS made on some of the slabs that has the WTC coins in them, just got another examplet that comes from Bobby he has two coins both in the 1 of 1ooo series. As you can see on these pages the 1 of 1000 series should be a 1 oz silver coin MS69 from 2001 and a 1999 1/4 gold eagle also MS69. Well Bobby is sending me a picture of 2 coins both WTC 2001 1 oz silver coin but have a look at the flag insert on the coins.

Both coins have the 1 of 1000 on them but one is MS69 the other is Gem Uncirculated. I wonder if more coins like this is out there. As always please send me pictures of coins that are special in some way or not posted on these pages as I want all the WTC coins to be up here at some point. I am not sure what to think about this coin, as with other coins we have seen from the WTC coin collection it did look like PCGS was ina bit of a rush when grading the coins. As Bobby points out the coin graded Gem Uncirculated is from Collectors Universe as can be seen on the back of the coin and we know that Collectors Universe parent company to PCGS did all the early grading and only certifed coins as have come from the WTC vault but never grade anything with MS eventhough some of the Gem coins they certified looks good enough to be MS material. So that could be a possible explaination that this coin was a coin that got graded right before PCGS took over. Another possible senario could be that some coins graded in the 1 of 1000 series was all graded at first by collectors universe and was later send back for MS grading at PCGS this one for some reason did not make it back. This could be confirm if all other coins in the series all where grade by PCGS ( look at the back)

Many other possible reasons but that is what I could come  up with from what I know about the coins.

Here is the back image of the two coins.
