The 1986 $25 Gold Eagle MS 68 is one of the truly rare coins that made it out of the world trade center vault, with less than 10 piece known to exist as a WTC recovery coin. All the 1986 $25 gold coins were exposed to extreme temperatures and unimaginable conditions at Ground Zero in New York . That is why they have the unusual discoloration and deep rich tones
The WTC (MCMLXXXVI) 1986 MS68 $25 Dollar Gold Eagle is not only the first year issue whose year is denoted in Roman numerals but one of the rarest half ounce Gold Eagles recovered as only less than four exist in the PCGS MS68 grade, one or two in MS67 and none in MS69.
