[QUOTE="Stork, post: 2730536, member: 71642"]And, this is why coin collecting is so much fun :D. In general, I follow Krause, but don't hesitate at all to deviate when appropriate. First of all Krause makes mistakes. Second, it doesn't always make sense. The registry sets at NGC follow Krause and I find myself rolling my eyes at times. If the country has it's own specific guide then I tend to follow that more...or pick my own rationale. For example, when doing my modern (1870-present) Japan type set Krause has breaks due to century, and so do the registry sets. Looking in the JNDA (Japan catalog) there is no distinction. The Japanese book also does not 'change type' due to a change in Emperor/Era. When doing my type set I did want to include the regnal era changes as 'type' as it was a major shift. The Japanese catalog is also a little inconsistent when placing transitional coins (between the Empire/post war-pre constitution/current constitution). As a collector you can take the historical aspects and include that in your collection as you deem fit. The Hungarian history is very interesting (and new to me) and with what you describe I would call it a type for each government. The fact they look the same is a mere quirk of production planning. That said, each collector can define it how they want. Cool discussion![/QUOTE]
