<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 708029, member: 5233&quot;]That seems strange based on what Krause shows.&nbsp; It&#039;s seems like a lot of proofs were minted between 1933-1948.&nbsp; It shows a proof issue for each of the 1933 2 and 5 Mark coins with Martin Luther from each mint (A, D, E, F, G, J).&nbsp; It also lists one for the 1934-F 2 and 5 Mark coins with Shiller (the only mint that made it that coin).&nbsp; It also lists proofs for each mint for the 1934 2 Mark with the Potsdam Garrison Church for each mint as well as listing a &quot;1934 Proof&quot; for the 5 mark with date.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Proofs for each mint (A, D, E, F, G, J) are also listed for the 1935 50pf Aluminum design.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I know that these are considered commemorative coins...but I find it odd that they were so interested in proofs yet it seems like the information is so limited.&nbsp; Here is what Krause lists for proofs with the other coins:</p><p><br /></p><p>1936-1940 &quot;Common Date Proofs&quot; 1pf Bronze</p><p>1940-1945 &quot;Common Date Proofs&quot; 1pf Zinc</p><p>1936-1940 &quot;Common Date Proofs&quot; 2pf Bronze</p><p>1936-1939 &quot;Common Date Proofs&quot; 5pf Aluminum-Bronze</p><p>1940-1944 &quot;Common Date Proofs&quot; 5pf Zinc</p><p>1936-1939 &quot;Common Date Proofs&quot; 10pf Aluminum-Bronze</p><p>1940-1945 &quot;Common Date Proofs&quot; 10pf Zinc</p><p>1938-1939 &quot;Common Date Proofs&quot; 50pf Nickel</p><p>1940-1944 &quot;Common Date Proofs&quot; 50pf Aluminum</p><p>1933-1939 &quot;Common Date Proofs&quot; 1 Mark</p><p>1936-1939 &quot;Common Date Proofs&quot; 2 Mark </p><p>1934-1935 &quot;Common Date Proofs&quot; 5 Mark with Church no Date</p><p>1935-1936 &quot;Common Date Proofs&quot; 5 Mark</p><p>1936-1939 &quot;Common Date Proofs&quot; 5 Mark</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t list the Weimar designs I an considering part of this set or the occupation or military coinage...but they basically show the same thing.&nbsp; It almost seems like each mint was making proofs...but that seems like a ton of proofs...especially for a nation that plunged into war.&nbsp; There has to be actual information somewhere as mintage information is readily available for business strikes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
