I almost feel like there's going to be a parade and fireworks.

Listening for the last hour or so to scarborough and tweety on MSNBC go on and on.

I'm waiting for some plastic piece of crap to be advertised for just $9.11, God Bless America, we will never forget.

We turn everything into plastic crap.

Its just too much, really.

Is it just me?

1. You wouldn't have the Franklin Mint phone number, would you?

I'm sure they've got some lovely sterling silver collectibles - y'know, medallions with the WTC on one side and cute, huggable teddy bears on the other.

2. Wait, Wait - its true. Here - from the "naitional collectors mint."

-------------------------

It's truly unique, created using two distinct struck pieces. First, the base is struck with gleaming buildings on a frosted background. Then the inset of the Twin Towers is magnificently engraved and fitted into the skyline on the face of the commemorative with jeweler precision, able to rise up into a breathtaking standing sculpture. The effect is dazzling - it is literally transformed into a standing sculpture of the Twin Towers!

The World Trade Center skyline is lavishly clad in gleaming silver miraculously recovered from a bank vault found under tons of debris at Ground Zero. To mark the fifth anniversary, $5 of every 2001-2006 World Trade Center Commemorative order is donated to official 9/11 family charities and memorials. The stunning design of this magnificent September 11th memorial is a 15 mg. of 24 KT gold and 15 mg. of .999 Pure silver clad tribute to all who were lost on that fateful day.

On the obverse, the luminous New York City skyline featuring the magnificent Twin Towers gleams against a frosted background, much as they shimmered in the sunlight that fateful September morning. On the reverse, a powerful eagle, 5 stars to denote the fifth anniversary and the plea, “God Bless America.” These commemoratives may well be among the most historically meaningful collectibles you will ever own.
