    Description

    2001 MS69 Platinum American Eagle certified by PCGS.
    2001, One of the most desired coins in the series.
    While almost everything had been destroyed in the towers, precious coins from around the
    world
    was
    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.
