I'm doing some work on the New Zealand catalogue at the moment and I'm trying to track down what New Zealand KM#134 is. I suspect it's probably a mule because that's usually what they are when I have trouble tracking them down. Can anyone enlighten me?
checked 3rd 2009 and 11th 2017 editions, and couldnt find it among the 50cents or 5 dollars where I'd suspect it be due to case with ref#s before and after it. you can check NGC they might have it there - if it exists.
and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. that's not strange at all. Krause misses lots of #s in different countries. In some cases, these are coins assigned a different number later on (could be 134 became 133a for example), and in some cases there are coins moved to Unusual with X#s. And in many cases the numbers are just missing.
PS: Only case I could track down valid unlisted KM#s is for some early coins late 1500s were they have been assigned KM#1-3 and can be found in NGC only but not in Krause since they chose the cut-off to be the year 1600
It seems like they sometimes reserve a range of numbers for certain years for countries that issue a lot of commemoratives, so if they have to add coins they missed earlier, they don't have those years' numbers jumping all over the place.
It's really bugging the obsessive/compulsive part of me, that likes to have everything complete and in order, but I guess I'll just have to add any coins I can track down and leave the rest
I found the same issue with the Norwegian catalogue of Krause. Many KM# numbers are missing, which makes referencing a mess! They don´t even have a KM#1 reference!

You'll probably find that the KM#1 is some obscure pre-cursor country to Norway
