<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 605119, member: 66&quot;]In 1999 the Sac dollars had been approved for production but could not be produced until 2000.&nbsp; The monthly draw down was increasing but they hoped they would have enough on hand that they wouldn&#039;t need more dollar coins until the Sacs were available.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t make it and in September production of 1999 SBA dollars was ordered and production began in November.&nbsp; So no 1999 SBA&#039;s existed until November, and the Mint set and proof sets had been on sale for quite some time by then.&nbsp; The sets could not have included coins which had not been approved for production.&nbsp; But so collectors could have a proof SBA for their sets they did strike them and offered them as a separate item.&nbsp; They were not popular though and it took four years to sell out the 750,000 coins.&nbsp; The 1999 proof dollar does have one interesting feature.&nbsp; It is the only business strike design proof coin since 1964 not struck in San Francisco.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
