Indian duplicate just created [solved]

Not sure how this happened or what “OMS” means, but this new entry:

https://en.numista.com/472465

is a duplicate of this one:

N#2470

Please delete the first unless there's an explanation currently missing from the new entry.

 Should be kept as separate pages - the original coin / page is silver. 

The newer page is "Other Metal Strike" and is copper. 

Thanks, I missed the change in composition. However, are we sure this exists for all the dates and with all the same details as the silver coins? The image appears to be silver, too. If a copper piece genuinely exists, we need a picture of it and we can then list that date and any others that turn up, rather than duplicating the entry for the circulating coins.

 Maybe other members will reply, 

and for now I added an explanation to the newer page, pending approval.

Thanks. Did you request a change of type to “non-circulating”? That seems the most appropriate.

 No, but I will do. 

 And yes, 15 lines on the silver page does not mean there should 

be the same number on the copper page - assuming it exists anyway. 

Any member got one? Then also a picture of it. 

Also this 2 entries have same KM#.

I do think we should delete the new entry and ask whoever created it to try again, taking into account what's been said here.

Probably the best solution.

Off metal strikes are usually out of a more expensive material … like copper coins struck in silver or gold in a one off thing.
Can we also get some sentences the one who validated this on what grounds this was approved?

This page is still there. Can the referee, @SStefanov please take a look?

It cannot have the same dimensions and the same weight if it is copper.

I will remove it.  We need to apply a high burden of proof for any modern “newly discovered, one-of-a-kind” type, ideally authentication from a recognized service.  

Older coins, are a bit different.  We still see new (uncataloged) dates of certain Dutch and Spanish Netherlands types showing up in the market.  Probably other areas, too. 

not sure I understand.. when I open the two links it shows only one entry - N#2470 and that's about it. Where is the duplicate of this?

Thanks!

Sorry.  I did remove it, but I forgot to close this request.

no worries! thanks for the due diligence.
