EDITED TO STATE THE FOLLOWING:
I printed a copy of this and took it to the coin shop today. The owner of the shop thought it was very funny and faxed it to a few other dealers. It seems that not all of them understood that this was only an April Fool's joke and have passed it on to other dealers.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT NONE OF THE STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS ARTICLE ARE TRUE, THIS IS AN APRIL FOOL'S DAY JOKE AND NOTHING MORE! Those who have been quoted here have had no part in this. It was written by me and is entirely my responsibility. The article is hosted on my website and is in no way endorsed by Yahoo or any other outside source.
I apologize to anyone who may have thought the information contained in the article was valid news, IT IS NOT!
The US Mint is not going to re-issue any rare date coins. No 1964 dated Peace Dollars or Franklin Halfs have been found. There is no need to call the US Mint, news organizations or rare coin dealers.
Again I apologize to anyone who took this serious and thank you in advance for your understanding.
