A magical correction has appeared for the Lincoln Silver Dollars. Whether it was customer returns, cancellations or Mint accounting tweaks, the proof and uncirculated sales figures are now aligned with the stars. Combined sales dropped by 15,614.
A perfect 325,000 sold is listed for the proof and an all-natural 125,000 for the uncirculated option.

He believes we’ll see hyperinflation and gold at $2,011 an ounce by the end of 2011.

Some news organizations are giving out the same incorrect or misleading comments,” said Stuppler, who is also president of Barry Stuppler & Company, Inc. of Woodland Hills, California, a rare coin and precious metals dealership.
