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
