David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 03/22/2023 6:06 pm Hi all, I recently obtained a Proof set from 2005. When entering the $1 coin into Numista I noticed that the number of S Proof minted was higher than either of the D or P. Does this mean that the D and P coins are harder to source than the S? Do the D and P turn up in circulation or only available as year sets? Thanks Edited by David Graham 03/22/2023 6:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187582 Posts	Posted 03/23/2023 11:46 am The P&D dollar coins were not issued for circulation in 2005. They were issued in the uncirculated mint sets and sold by the mint in bags & rolls. None were release to circulation, so they show up for the same reasons the proof coins do.

jbuck Moderator United States 187582 Posts	Posted 03/23/2023 4:58 pm Yes. That is the best way to get them. Also, there are dealers who have bought and separated the sets (or acquired bags/rolls) for individual sale. There are a couple at the local coin show who have helped me fill some holes over the years.
