The National Collector's Mint is a real company and it is selling real things, obviously for collectors. Are the coins genuine? it depends. They DO sell real legal tender and historical coins. Legal meaning issued by the Official U.S. Mint. AND they also sell PROOFS and COMMEMORATIVES Proofs are recreations/copies of real/historical coins and therefore not legal tender, but can be based on official coins. A.K.A. the coins that collectors go for. Commemoratives honor specific events or things, so they can be official commemoratives or privately issued. (again not legal tender)

They are private mint issues and are not legal tender.
"It is very easy, All you have to do is call the toll free # on the invoice. I have seen the corvetts and they are very beautiful." is the answer one guy left.

No. This is the not the first time this company has tried to profit off the 9/11 tragedy. They were shut down by Eliot Spitzer the first time, and I understand there is an investigation underway over this latest effort. They claim they are selling it for "face value," but there is no "face value." It is not legal tender, and it is very likely a scam.
Most countries have what is referred to as its national mint. For example, the United States Mint is the national mint of the US, the Royal Canadian Mint is the national mint of Canada, and the Royal Mint is the national mint of the UK. However, in the United States the "national mint" is officially called The US Mint and is always referred to by that name. Several private companies have tried to play off possible confusion by putting the word "National" in their names, but they have no connection whatsoever to the US Mint. It's similar to the way a single government-run airline will carry the country's name in recognition of its status as the "flag carrier", while in the US where there is no official national airline, companies are free to name themselves American Airlines and US Airways even though they have no direct relation to the government.
