I made a request to have the year 1959 removed, but because several people have it listed in their collection the referee cannot delete the year...
This happens more often and in my opinion it makes Numista less professional. A known error that can not be corrected? What now?
A referee can't but a master referee of catalog administrator can.
But before deleting the year line it's important to notify the owners. You know how you struggled when you lost a country and you didn't know which one. It's the same when you loose a coin. I know I would. We don't need to feel too much pity for those who don't care and randomly tick a box, but those who accidentally ticked the wrong box deserve to be notified.
