wtc coins recovered from my safe deposit box

Help I want to determine the value of my coins (Morgan Peace Franklin Walkers Wheat cent) I recovered from my Chase Manhattan safe deposit box in the WTC. My coins were plus subject to the 10-day fire that heated the central debris zone to over 1500f(as per chase Manhattan bank). Needless to say they don’t look like the silver eagles that were also recovered from some distance away. Subject to the 10-day+ fire.

    Unless you can prove that they were WTC coins like the genuine "Death" coins they are just another coin. As damaged coins they are worth less than what price lists show.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
  • I will try to post some pictures on sunday. I had a friend with when i opened my box.
    Chase mahattan bank had me sign an affidatite listing my safe deposit box contents, before i was allowed access. I signed another affidateit( all this under the watchfull eye of a chase officer) after I remove the contents. Only a small number of boxxes survived.,as for the ststate of the coins, the morgan and peace aredistored from the heat. I will post more information soon.
