jordanpie4 - Auction description says:
"Twin Towers",9-11 Plaza Hotel Blue Capsule commemorative coin displaying the twin towers. This is an extremely rare silver strike. An absolute must for any silver strike collector. Only one coin was placed in the hopper per fill, and most of the time this coin circulated there was a line to play the machine when it was filled. There is only a total of 500 of these coins minted...

rickerbbm auction, same item, sold Apr 5th $198.50
So for the astute buyer, you could have won this coin for $157, $198 (plus bbm threw in some bonus tokens), or you can bid on it again from the first seller, who managed to have yet another identical strike.
