I think the Australian referee might have something to say about this. It has been discussed in the past.
It was basically an experiment to possibly separate the listings for the different finishes on Australian coins. The 1 cent coin was chosen and done as a test to see how it would be accepted.
It has been like this for nearly 2 years so far and each entry has a different pic of each coin, Circ, UNC and Proof to show the differences.
I'm not sure what will happen with it at this stage. Comments from Admin and Mods welcome.
Cheers Mike

Agreed there should be just one for each KM# I always found the NGC way of having a separate listing for circulating issues, proofs, specimens, etc pretty hard to sort through sometimes.
Personally I would like the circulation coins separate from the proofs and other non-circulating stuff made just for collectors. I wish the filters could produce listings of just plain old circulation standard or commemorative coins.
Also while I supplied the pics of the coins as shown in the links above I was not involved in progressing the separation of the three types.
Personally I like it as you can see the differences between the different finishes. And before someone says you could include those different pics in the comments, I don't think it is the same. When they are placed in the comments they tend to get buried.
However I am happy for whatever the site admin think is the best way to go with this.

Personally, I would prefer to have just 1 listing per KM#, with a filter on it that lets you narrow down the list of year lines based on various criteria. For starters, it could be just on the year line comments. If more flags are added to the individual year lines in the future, i.e. KM sub-type, finish type, distribution type, etc, this filtering could be further expanded.
ps: I don't think the differences in pictures between proof/circulation issues are significant enough to warrant separate listings.
Generally in Australian numismatics a circulating, uncirculated (BU on the American scale) and proof coins of the same specifications and design are considered to be three different coins. This is because the process in making the three different coins all involve a different method for them being made. In general it makes more sense for an Australian collector to have them separated out like this. Also while Numista is based on the KM system, the site does not have to follow the same layout as the books.
After some similar forum posts it was decided to leave an example of how it looks so that the high up admin can make a decision on if they like it or find a way that it can work in a future update to the way the catalogue works. While I personally do prefer this system I will happily undo it once the high up admin have made their decision.

It doesn't get much higher than the Catalogue Master Referee, who has already stated that they should be merged to one page, in line with the rest of the Numista catalogue.
Just because you can't see it ... doesn't mean it isn't there - Anon.
Indeed, this one is an example as per current discussions on various topics.
To date, merging is the rule in such case (and will probably stay as is); this one is kept as is for example to see this case (along with related implications behind).
Meanwhile, others should be merged.

The members who have coins allocated against the UNC and Proof versions can have their entries moved over. When that is done the old UNC and Proof pages can be deleted.
All relevant information including pics in the comments was retained.
I have sent you this message on a pm too.

KM#62 has been merged, but the other three-listings type (KM#78--the first links posted in this thread) still needs to be merged.
Yes - I was waiting for the KM# 62 (1966 to 1984 Machin Portait) members coins to be moved first.
I will be doing KM# 78 very soon. (1985 to 1991 Makleouf Portrait coins)
Also KM# 767 needs to be done as well (2006 & 2016 Rank-Broadley Portrait coins)

I have updated comments on the combined entry to reflect the update.

I have renamed the old Proof page to not mention Proof in it's title.
When the member entries have been moved over for this, and the post above this one, this will complete the re-combining of the Australian 1 cent coins back into the recognised Numista format of not separating Circ, UNC & Proof Coins.
