"WTC Ground Zero Recovery" coin
On November 1, 2001, these coins were taken by Brinks Armored Car Service directly to professional grading services for authentication and grading.
Each coin was encapsulated in a tamper-proof holder along with a unique "WTC Ground Zero Recovery" label.
The label certifies the coin's authenticity and as one of the few artifacts that was legally allowed to leave the Ground Zero recovery site and enter private hands. The label is inside the holder and cannot be altered without destroying the authenticity of the coin.
The reason these coins were allowed to leave the site was that they, unlike almost everything else on the site, were private property and their lawful owner could be identified.
Even today, 10 years after the September 11, 2001, attacks, the few coins that were recovered from this vault remain the only genuine items from the Ground Zero recovery site that can be certified and legally sold.
