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.

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. TD

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.

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.

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.
