While almost everything had been destroyed in the towers, precious coins from around the
world were unearthed from a vault in one of the smaller towers, most in pristine condition.
These became known as the “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 is
largely 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.
