Actually I can't believe that company is not authorized by the government. How did they get away with scamming people for so long? They call themselves a mint to confuse old people.
Quote:
he TV and print ads include one fashioned after a news story that reads: ``Today, history is being made. For the first time ever, a legally authorized government issue silver dollar has been struck to commemorate the World Trade Center and the new Freedom Tower being erected in its place ... Most importantly, each coin has been created using .999 pure silver recovered from ground zero!''
The dollar pieces are priced at $39 each, but sold at $19.95 with a limit of five per customer.
A company spokesman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. On Sept. 10, the U.S. Mint issued a notice on its Web site that the coin ``is not a legally authorized government issued'' product.
