2001-2002 World Trade Center Colorized $130 This commemorative coin features a vibrant, colorized tribute to the iconic New York City skyline and American resilience following the events of September 11, 2001. The obverse showcases a detailed illustration of the Statue of Liberty positioned alongside the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, set against a backdrop of a waving American flag and a blue textured sky. The vertical dates 2001 and 2002 are prominently displayed on the right edge, signifying the period of remembrance. Often produced as a limited edition collectible, these colorized coins are typically based on the American Silver Eagle design, utilizing one troy ounce of .999 fine silver. This specific item is housed in a protective clear acrylic capsule to preserve the delicate colorized finish from oxidation or physical wear. Such pieces are highly sought after by numismatic collectors and those wishing to own a symbolic piece of American history, serving as a poignant memento of national unity and strength. Condition: The item appears to be in circulated or mishandled condition with visible damage to the colorized overlay. There is significant peeling and loss of the decal/ink around the periphery, particularly between the 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock positions, and some bubbling or lifting near the Statue of Liberty's crown. The underlying metal surface shows signs of toning or environmental oxidation. This is a privately minted commemorative round rather than legal tender. Most versions of this specific "2001-2002" colorized tribute are struck in .999 fine silver, typically weighing 1 Troy ounce, though base metal silver-plated versions also exist. Historically, these were produced by private mints following the September 11 attacks to commemorate the World Trade Center; they are considered "exonumia" or novelty items rather than numismatic collectibles. The strike type is a standard commercial strike with an applied colorized decal. It is ungraded and would likely not receive a high grade from a reputable service due to the damaged colorization. The $130 price point is significantly higher than the current market value for silver bullion or damaged commemorative rounds. 9/11 commemorative coin, Twin Towers, Statue of Liberty, American flag, numismatics, colorized coin, September 11 memorial, collectible coin, World Trade Center, patriotic, 2001-2002, commemorative medal, coin capsule 9/11 memorial coin, World Trade Center commemorative, Statue of Liberty coin, Twin Towers 2001-2002, American flag collectible coin, September 11 anniversary medal, numismatic collectibles, patriotic challenge coin, NYC skyline coin, historical memorial token Bidder is fully responsible for: - Determining what an item is worth to you - Evaluating the condition and authenticity of items - Making informed bidding decisions -BIDDER/BUYER To determine the items' Condition, Completeness, Authenticity, and Grade. - Fulfillment of contract of bid, underst
