For the most part when it comes to commemorative coins the United States Congress authorizes commemorative coins that lionize and honor American individuals, places, events, and institutions. Although these coins are legitimate tender, they are not coined for common circulation. Each commemorative coin is produced by the United States Mint in closed quantity and is only accessible for a specific amount of time. As far as I can tell the World Trade Center coins found underneath the Twin Towers have yet to become a part of the Mint coin program, frankly I don't really understand why! However, these coins are a part of another program; the PCGS also known as the Professional Coin Grading Service. These coins in particular can be worth a lot of money (from a few hundred on up to a few thousand), so under advanced security measures the coins were loaded into Brinks Armored vehicles and sent to Collectors Universe a parent company of the well-known PCGS.

This particular organization is the archetypal company for collectors of coins. Once this organization collected all of the coins they then continued on to catalogue, grade and encapsulate in the PCGS high security tamper resistant capsules along with a specially designed commemorative United States Flag insert that identifies the coins as a genuine artifact. There are numerous different coins being commemorated for this particular event including the 2000 WTC ground zero recovery gold eagle, silver eagle, and also a few uncirculated 1993 silver eagle gem. To buy these coins you can spend anywhere from $60 on up to $1000+. These coins truly are a piece of our history and its definitely a piece, if you could choose any piece, that you should have in your accumulations!

It doesn't matter if your a master at collecting these types of coins or materials or if you are just starting out, or if you are going to hold on to these for personal reasons or sell these for some cold hard cash, this is a noteworthy part of history that you can take possession over starting right this very moment. I have known of quite a few people that have inducted these coins in to their own little collection because they had a loved one or knew someone in the World Trade Center, so something like this means a lot to them. If you think you would be interested in something like this, check it out the next time your online. I think you will be really surprised by the craftsmanship of these coins!
