Spain 100 pesetas

Why are the A & B types suddenly put together, not very helpful  when you want to swap/collect both.
It was very easy the way it was.

Please use now personal comment for this. It's more simple for all and adding a new line to all coins which have edge lettering would make a big mess. Every owner of the coins would have to check and re-enter their coins in the catalogue.

Thank you

I totally disagree, they were separate, so no collector would have to alter anything, why was it changed was my question?

I agree with Arnhemcoin!!!

It is also done with French 10 Francs: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces683.html
totally insane, it seems like there is nothing else to do in the ultimate French cities/medieval/feudal/kingdom/colonies blabla .. holy mess, anymore, so the team keeps themselves busy.

Yes there are multiple occasions, and I still have not heard why.

If it was not done originally, I might understand it is a lot of work, but when they are already separate, why fuse them together???
It sure does not help, so I am really curious why this is done, still no answer to that.

We, peasants, are usually not informed, the Team just plays around.
... you'll get used to this. Just make sure you document your collection elsewhere as well, to be on the safe side.

Yes obviously.

I also mentioned that Tokens now suddenly is it's own entity, loose from the issuing country, which is not helpful.
I my case Spanish-issued Ecu's were suddenly "gone".

Good point.

You may or may not agree with this new criteria, but what is important is that there would be one unique criteria.

Now there are years with types joined and years with separated.

For example, joined : https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2305.html
and separated: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6404.html

So lets make separate the uniform form of doing it.

No, together. the coins are considered the same by most collectors, have the same values, and are produced by the same dies. The condition for a new line on the coins sheet is "one line for each strike" (it may not have been made obvious, but there is proof of this), and this "A and B" thing is separating coins of the same strike.

You can read in "Guidelines for  editing catalog":


Both types are minted randomly in the same issue.

Krause catalog describes this variety only in 1992 as a note, and nothing in the others years:


So, I think the team hasn't change the criteria.
