Well, here I've got a pair of 9/11 coins, (matched top to bottom) one minted in 2k1, shortly after the attack, and one on the one-year aniversary. Obviously, the fancier looking one is the later.

They came in felt-coin boxes, with a standard eagle-seal on the top. Sealed nicely in plastic transparent cases, and minted of 1 troy ounce .999% silver.

Wait a Minute...

The design is quite odd. The tower is actually going straight thru the flag.

Well... the top images are two different coins... the image beneath them are their corresponding reverses.

I agree, the design of the towers with the flag is quite unique. But honestly, it seems too cluttered to me, and I tend to favor the one on the right, with the Statue of Liberty included. Though, the reverse with the aftermath looks better to me personally.

I didn't notice that until you mentioned it, the tower on the left does go through the flag instead of the flag wrapping around the towers like I first thought. I usually can pick up on things like that (I guess because of my artist background) but I guess my skills are getting weak since I haven't done any art work in quite awhile

Oh wow, I misunderstood you at first, but now I see it too... how weird...
