I have both

Vicky i'm pleased you have completed your quest to complete the lot of jamaican proof sets (1969 - 2001). I'm still looking for 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000. You said you got 1996 and 1998 from the BoJ, when I visited last year I got the 2001 but they didnt have the other years! How frustrating! You would think they would have and keep up to date, an inventory. You get the feeling that the answer to what is available depends on the thoroughness of the search in the stock room when the question is asked. I will get a friend to drop by the bank next week. As for 2002 and any other question about mintage etc my questions were met with indifference and puzzled bewilderment its enough to drive you bonkers, maybe if I write a book about jamaican coins when i finally retire i may unearth some of these answers from my research.

Vicky I collect this series and can also say I share your quest about proof sets post 2001, I have been to the bank of Jamaica and you would think that they would be the authority on thus but sadly no, they were spectacularly unhelpful. I have never seen a proof set post 2001 despite exhaustive searches. My coin collection which goes back to 1969 is missing 1986 - which I'm sure don't exist. 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000. If any member can help with these I would be very thankful.
