WTC Coin Price Silver and Gold

So the other day I was looking on E-Bay for WTC coins believe me something I do a lot both to keep up with the prices on coins but also to make sure I don't miss a coin that is not up on the web site. So it struck me how much difference there are in prices on one coin. Take the WTC 2001 $1 Silver eagle, I have seen that coin on E-bay from about $199 to around $450 and any amount in between. When somebody runs a no reserve auction the price normally lands right around $200 which I consider the fair price for the coin in this market. Well it made me think that I could make a price comparison under each coin from the WTC. So if you go under the $1 silver eagle right now you should see live the different price on the coin and be able to find the right price. Its this code stuff I use that comes from E-bay so sometimes it brings other coins in also but I think it will give you a better picture of the prices of a coin.

A Treasure in Silver and Gold 2

A Treasure in Silver and Gold

RICH GARLOCK: The vault was huge — two levels, 3,000 square feet each. When they opened the door, I realized why it was so big: there was a lot of gold and silver. The silver bars were like large loaves of bread, only they weighed about 70 pounds. The gold was smaller, but also very heavy, about 28 pounds each. It was around Halloween and I joked that I was going to come dressed as a Brinks guard. The team did a test run with the Brinks truck to make sure that it had the clearance, driving it up and then back out. The next morning the New York Post reported the vault had been emptied. In fact, it took a week to remove. The police said, "Hey, we couldn't have better publicity."
