Note: There is some misinformation that the mintages of the 04s are as follows : 6091, 5095, 5226, 7202. These are the numbers from the April 4th sales report from the US Mint. They do not include ANY returns. If you ask the office of public affairs at the mint they will tell you that the numbers they are quoting do not include the last three days of sales or unprocessed returns. 200-300 total unprocessed returns are typical from previous years and make the KP numbers look very likely.
Figures rounded to nearest hundred are approximations, data from sources did not agree.

All of the above listed sources had their mintage numbers placed on a common spread sheet and reviewed. Most of the listed sources had at least some bad data and after looking at all the numbers it was fairly obvious where the mistakes were in most cases.
This is the most complete cross checked mintage list I am aware of but it may not be perfect.
