    .......I must have missed it,

    -neither saw nor heard anything about D.Carr

    I think the medals (not coins, please) are the 9/11 pieces that D. Carr designed back in 2005 or so. I understand that it was contract job and D. Carr had nothing to do with the misrepresentation of them in the sales ads. Also D.Carr had distanced himself from the National Collectors Mint as soon as he realized what they were up to.

    these type of posts are the reason Mr. Willis has to be so involved lately on the forums and reason new guys as myself don't get involved if your going to make a post for the simple reason of trying to bash someone that we all can tell you dont like think twice and go take a breather instead. simple fact as i see it Mr. Carr is a designer who was paid to design something now back to the topic of this forum U.S. Coins...collect cherish and have fun

    Please, this thread title is very misleading. You are doing Mr. Carr a disservice. I would request that you greatly amend the title to remove his name.

    I agree.
    Kiyote -- Your misdirection in your title to this thread is just as bad as National Collectors Mint's advertising. Making you no better than National Collectors Mint. There is enough misleading information floating around without your little game.

    These are the "coins" improperly marked "one dollar" where you can stand up the twin towers and knock 'em down again!

    Not defending their pusillanimous junk - but the coin is a Liberian Dollar coin, authorised by some warlord or whatever in that war torn African nation. Of course they do NOT tell you that it is NOT a US dollar.

    Well, I'd like to hear what he has to say about the matter.

    He distanced himself after the fact.

    However, he knew what he was making while making it.

    Here in NYC, there has been very heavy criticism of these "coins", which many of the first responders consider nothing but a way to make money off tragedy. Personnel that was actually involved in recovering the buried PM under Ground Zero also state there is "no way" these coisn are made with any PM recovered from the WTC site.

    That's interesting , presumably paid though ? It's easy to distance oneself after being paid for services.
