Could you share the link please, as i need some.

A Liberty & Britannia both 1/10 gold coins from @artalien 😀

They was 2500 safety deposit boxers in a chase bank vault at the 5 world trade center building. Apparently the vault sustained severe damage from fire that burned for weeks. Most of the boxers had nothing but ash in them, when they was finally found.

the 2001 MS69 WTC coin have a big premium and the 2001 MS70 WTC coins are completely in a different ball park. I have spotted some that have looked questionable, perfect thing to fake. Your not going to break the coin out of the slab and test it that way.

Welcome to the forum 😀

I weighed them and checked the sizes, they both passed that.

I have only bought 2 sovereigns off ebay, they was both halfs a proof 1989 with a copper spot and a 1992 proof both with boxs. Im guessing that coin you had was a bullion coin?

How did you end up spotting its diameter was out?

Congratulations @Rares its a very nice coin.

Be reyt 😀

I did put £180 at first and then you bid and it didnt show up on my phone 😅 so i changed it to £190

£190

For some other stange reason some one had millions of Jamaican half pennys stored in a vault as well, that have been sent to PCGS and put on the market as WTC recovery coins.

World Trade Center Coins COMEX, the futures exchange, had a major proportion of its stockpile of silver and other metals in the vaults underneath the World Trade Center. In addition, the Bank of Nova Scotia held millions in platinum, gold and silver bullion in building #4 of the World Trade Center. These coins where moved from the vault under World Trade Center #4 from mid October 2001 to the 1st of November 2001. Comex’s reserves were returned to them while some of the coins belonging to The Bank of Nova Scotia were sent via Brinks armored vehicles to the parent company of the renowned Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), Collectors Universe. PCGS graded the coins and made them available as singles or in sets. The value of these coins islargely driven by availability. Some are scarcer than others and some are in more demand than others. The American Eagle coins minted in 2001 are the most desirable

Been trying to plan to go to some coin shops and fairs but it might be a little interesting with been in Sioux City, Iowa. Always interesting when we go to visit, they dont get many travelers from outside the USA.

thanks, I would appreciate it. Witch coin fair are you attending?

Im lucky i have family in America and i need to go visit them this year, so might end up having it delivered to there address. Then collect it when i go visiting.

Did you import them your self?

Articles about the coins make it sound like they was all submitted by the same people/ company, so it is a little strange how theres been no public record of how many coins they slabbed.

Im guessing only coins of MS69 or higher got a grade and the rest got a normal recovery coin slab.

Nice coin. Im looking to purchase one as a gift for someone one. The thing i cant get my head round is how they haven't been documented very well. Do you know how the ones with grades managed to get a grade and not just get a recovery coin slab? The coins with 1 of 1000 or different number are confusing me to what that refers to.
