Great documentations again but I'm not so sure about not using the KM# numbers any further. Krause didn't always assign a new number (or sub number) for small design changes. But they were not consistent about this, sometimes they did assign new numbers, sometimes they didn't.

Hi,
I know that, but one day numista has to make a decision. If not we'll have to live with overcharged comments in the year lines, which is no good. I have noticed that NONE of the 3 catalog numbers for these coins take the new small leaf into account.
Of course we can push that decision forward trying to forget about it, but that's not how we put it right? For the 1 and 5 cents it seems we have a clear break year between the two types, but for the 2 cents it's more complicated, since we have the big and small leaves in the same year, but with different mints. At least I have no confirmation so far that the same mint can have the two types in the same year.
I can only hope KM will find another publisher and new editions will follow. But the longer it takes the less hope I have. And although there were a lot of mistakes in Krause and they were always far behind, they do leave a void. So you're right, at a certain time decisions have to be made how to proceed.

So do I, but with the years running, my hope is diminishing fast.

In this case I would assign NC#207.1, NC#208.1 and NC#209.1 just to get forward with keeping numista "clean" (NC for Numista Coins).
Just using the same numbers as KM, but in the logical follow up with a .n, for a small layout change, and not a letter, reserved for alloy changes
Not a bad idea, not bad at all. I can support that but of course this is a decision the Numista top has to make.
The only alternative for KM is Schön, but Schön is not so ideal for year collectors and not so widespread as Krause (I have over 20 Krause catalogs but only 1 Schön). Maybe Schön will fill the void and make a more extensive catalog (for year collectors) and also in English. Apparently they had one (or more) English edition(s) in the past. But I don't know if that will be their goal.

That's also how I see it, Schön is not for year and variant collectors, so for me it's unfortunately out of question to use it.
I'm afraid that the Numista TOP will not take any decision, so my idea is probably killed without any discussion.
Can't we just leave the catalogue number blank until something new is published? If we're happy the small leaves are a distinct type, we should make the new pages. It isn't our fault KM and Pick aren't being published right now. We already have some new issues (e.g., https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note220152.html) which have no catalogue number.

Sorry, but don't mix coins and notes, the hole is getting too big!
Hi everyone! Going through my coins and I have two 2018 mint A 1 cent coins. Both have the Big Oak Leaf, but the minting chart only shows SOL. Has anyone noticed this before?
