I think there are bullion coins that were recovered from the rubble.
Edit: I think that's what you meany by "recovery labels".
OK medals.... Sorry
no need to be sorry.
this is just a hard one to do.
they just put on order yesterday the 10th the half dollars with the 9-11 privy. unfortunately a good rendering isn't out there.
so we have the mint's. from philly only:
Self-made tribute. I used to call it a counterstamp, but maybe now it's a privy.
These coins (shown below) were intended as a commemoration of the ground breaking for the new Freedom Tower to replace the Twin Towers. Regardless of the intent, they did not have a good reputation and were quite controversial when first released. The problems mostly originated from the marketing tactics rather than the coins themselves.

The 2004 issue was supposedly a legal tender coin from the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).
But the CNMI is a protectorate of the United States and has no legal authority to issue their own currency (they use US Dollars only, for legal tender). There are two versions: Type 1 (small Statue of Liberty) ; Type 2 (large Statue of Liberty).
The 2004 issue comes in these forms: 39mm silver plated (type 1 only); 39mm solid 999 silver (one troy oz, type 1 only); 1/4 troy oz 999 gold (Type 1 and Type 2).
After the 2004 fiasco with the legal tender status, subsequent issues from 2005 to 2010 (all Type 2,3,4) were supposedly legal tender of the Cook Islands (which does have the authority to issue their own currency).
The solid silver version is scarce (2004-2006) or rare (2007-2010). All the gold pieces are rare. Later years are generally scarcer than 2004-2005.

I remember that day and how the PCGS board responded. Everyone, and I literally mean everyone, changed their little icons to be an American flag. I, and a handful of others, have never changed back to something else. It was truly a sobering time. I had only been a member of the PCGS board for about half a year and so was still feeling my way around. When Mitch started the 9-11 quarter endeavor, I hesitated for a day or so until I thought my hesitation was ridiculous. I could afford one of the quarters and the money was going to a place where it should go, so I went ahead and purchased one. It remains so meaningful to me there is no way I'll ever sell it.
This is one of the fundraiser quarters that @Mark wrote about. I also recall the little flags by so many names and how the fundraiser unfolded. The one imaged is mine and I still have it.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
In 2003 I was assigned to a nearby Habitat for Humanity and we were sent with a box truck to Ground 0 (still a hole in the ground at that time) to go pick up some insulation they were donating from the 2nd anniversary memorial. Im totally remiss in not recalling exactly what the building was, but I think it was the nearby Marriott (could be wrong here, but think so). We talked to the guard who was there on 9/11/01 and he noted that several people were killed in the lobby when the buildings came down. It was a dimension of the tragedy that I guess I had never thought of; obviously there were people killed from the impact and in the collapse, there were people killed from jumping, but the tragedy was just so enormous that ‘the many people killed on the ground levels nearby from the collapse’ who weren’t even in the towers themselves never registered, but sure enough, it absolutely happened.
He told stories of the jumpers and what it was like. Horrific beyond belief.
I doubt a more significant event will happen in my lifetime. I surely hope not
2011-W September 11 National Medal
These were also struck at Philly. . .
I had this one...........don't know where it is though, I may have included it in Auction package.

Its a really interesting story, these were stored in several vaults owned by Bank of Nova Scotia. The Bank was situated in 4 World Trade Center, attached below shows you where for reference. 4 World Trade Center stood directly next to Two World Trade (South Tower) which was the last struck and first to collapse. The South Tower Structurally failed eastward and toppled directly onto 4 World Trade. From photos after the attacks, it was the least recognizable since the South Tower Collapse Directly onto it. The World Trade Center Complex had several major Bank tenants that had stored large amounts of money, including Citi & Chase Bank, both of which were situated closer to Tower 1 which resulted in being the most destroyed from the long burning below grade fires.
From what I recall reading, the vaults owned by Bank of Nova Scotia were virtually undisturbed sitting many levels below ground even with the complete destruction above grade. The vault remained locked shut until power could be restored to that area, the tunnel leading out was destroyed by the Collapse of 7 World Trade so until the path was cleared all precious metals, coins etc remained inside until October/November of 2001. They had roughly 250 Million within the vaults.
Photos inside, as you can see there was lots of gold bars too.
RGDS!
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.

Wooooha! Did someone just say it's officially "TACO™" Tuesday????
Retiring at 55, what day is today?
I have 40 of the proof & uncirculated medals from 2011, still in the USPS packaging (15-years-late first strike anyone?).
I was hoping the mint would drop silver versions of the three congressional gold medals for the 25th anniversary. Would have liked a two week order window.
