The Brilliant Uncirculated versions were less-than-Gem examples which weren't worth the cost of precise grading, just slabbed and thrown into the market.
The Brilliant Uncirculated version was the first batch of coins from the towers that came out. They are not graded because they were not produced by a grading service. They were issued by Collectors Universe NOT PCGS even thouh they used PCGS shells. (If you look on the back you will see the Collectors Universe logo and not the PCGS Logo.) All of the Trade tower coins issued by PCGS are graded. At first all that PCGS slabbed were the 2001 coins, but then about six to eight months later the dam broke and they started slabbing anything and everything that came from the vaults, and they began creating special "limited edition" "sets" for dealers and numbered all of them 1 of XXX which allowed the dealers to hype each one of them as being some thing special because it was #1 of how ever many. And when they ran out they would just send the next batch in and create another "Limited edition" These were just a money grab.
And the vault did not survive the North Tower falling on it. The vault was in either tower 5 or tower 7.
That "popup" WTC piece. It probably does contain WTC silver. The silver is easy enough to acquire why would you not risk using it and possibly get found out.
That pop up of the towers is said to be layered with 15 milligrams of silver Well that is .015 grams. The silver from a SINGLE WTC death coin will provide enough silver to create 2000 of those coins. Thats $60,000 worth of sales from a single silver eagle. Why risk not using WTC silver?
