Spitzer Halts Sale of "9/11 Silver Coins/Calls it a Fraud! (those coins

we all hated with "recovered silver from under the twin towers." I had posted that I thought they were being advertised as a "527" to remind us all of 9/11 and the "terror." The coating of "silver" was applied in Wyoming, but I can't frind the name of the company there mentioned in the article: "Soft Sky, Inc.")

ALBANY, N.Y. - New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer on Wednesday obtained a court order to temporarily suspend the sale of commemorative Sept. 11 coins heavily advertised as being minted from silver recovered at ground zero.
Spitzer said the sale of the silver dollars emblazoned with the World Trade Center towers on one side and the planned Freedom Tower on the flip side is a fraud and he's investigating the claim the silver came from the ruins of the twin towers.

"It is a shameless attempt to profit from a national tragedy," Spitzer said. "This product has been promoted with claims that are false, misleading or unsubstantiated."
