A guy posted this picture of a $20 Gold Coin melted with 3 silver coins during the 1906 San Francisco Fire. The date of the gold coin cannot be read but the silver coins melted to the Gold coin during the fires in 1906 in San Francisco. This is just to give people on here an idea of what the fire can do to coins. The WTC coins where in a vault on only some of the coins has visible damage from the heat, but nothing like this coin.
