Sen. Charles Schumer and Rep. Jerrold Nadler are asking for a crackdown on a Westchester company selling 9/11 commemorative coins supposedly made of silver from Ground Zero.
The two state lawmakers called yesterday for the Federal Trade Commission to stop Port Chester-based National Collector’s Mint from selling the coins.
The company is advertising the coins as “the officially authorized 10th-anniversary September 11th commemorative.” They sell for $29.95.
But Schumer and Nadler said the coins are not sanctioned by any government agency and have no connection to the 9/11 memorial that is being built at the World Trade Center site.
National Collector’s Mint President Avram Freedberg said the company has donated more than $2 million to various Sept. 11 charities.
