2005 Mule $1 in a 2006 Proof set -
2005 PROOF MULE $1 in a 2006 proof set!
The RAM has not acknowledged this set as existing..
Undeniably a MULE as the 2005 $1 proof was not the mob of roos reverse..
This coin was a non existent design until struck. The 2005 proof dollar was not a mob of roos..

2005 was possibly struck in a hurry.. -
Broadstruck, one of my favourite coins. This design was possibly struck in a hurry, this could be a consequence of the advertising for the mule in slot 1 ?
At the time it was true, no 2005 $1 Mob Of Roos existed, let alone a PROOF.. then some circulation coins soon showed up. So a 2005 Mint State mob of roos DID then exist. It too is somewhat of a rarity with low mintage.

Strong rim, so likely 2006. NGC verified ? -

The Royal Mint (UK) uses 7 sided designs. This test pattern pays homage to the old design, with the imperial lion. Awesome.
