<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 34667, member: 112&quot;]Yes they could &amp; often do. It could also have some dated 2005. You see - the mint actually starts prodcution of the 2005 dated coins in Dec. of 2004. They also make sales of the 2005 dated coins to the approved distributors in Dec. so that they can be offered to the public early in Jan. Also - if there are any of the previous years coins still left over in Jan. - they can be sold as well. And I&#039;m not positive on this, but I don&#039;t think they differentiate between unc &amp; Proof sales either - but just lump them all together.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you see how it works - sales numbers are just that - sales numbers, not mintages. But they do give a pretty good approximation until the actuall mintage numbers are released.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
