Date range being shown in lettering fields [solved]

3 posts
Hello,

Recently I found some coins whose pages in the Numista catalogue have date ranges in the lettering box, for example: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces908.html

Instead of (ideally, IMO):
IN GOD WE TRUST
LIBERTY
1925
D

We have this:
IN GOD WE TRUST
LIBERTY
(1909-1958)

In all the countries I referee for, the lettering is always the date/mintmark/variant of the coin whose picture is used on the page; if the picture is changed I change the lettering as appropriate. In my opinion this is the most ideal option but I leave it to Jarek to decide whether this should become policy.
Ugh, this is not right.

While it might seems ok and it might be in some cases ok, it is not (not even here) and won't become policy.

For example, 1943 is missing so the lettering would be

IN GOD WE TRUST
LIBERTY
(1909-1942)/(1944-1958)

and mintmark is also alternating, so it would be

IN GOD WE TRUST
LIBERTY
(1909-1942)/(1944-1958)

No, please no. Let's just use the year shown.

Thank you! If we consider all the possible variants beyond just date and mintmark, we could end up with tons and tons of lettering and a very confusing page.

I hope it is made policy to show the date, mintmark, and any other lettering detail(s) only of the example whose picture is shown on the coin page.
