<p>[QUOTE=&quot;justafarmer, post: 2348027, member: 3926&quot;]Sorta</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorta along the lines of a complaint I have with the variety collecting niche. A variety listing gets debunked or is determined a duplicate listing of a different die state of another variety already cataloged.&nbsp; This variety gets removed from the listings then upon discovery of an unlisted variety it is cataloged filling the spot of the debunked variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what you end up with is a bunch of slabs referencing a coin a variety it is not. RPM-006 in 2015 may not be the same RPM-006 as listed in 2016. Because RPM-006 as it was in 2015 was debunked and a new RPM discovered and designated as RPM-006.</p><p><br /></p><p>I say if a variety is debunked or a determined a duplicate listing let it remain cataloged as RPM-006 and qualifying it as debunked or by x-referencing the duplicate listings to each other. Then give the newly discovered variety its own unique catalog reference.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess this goes back to the accountant in me. You void a check or invoice – you don’t issue a new check or invoice using the voided document’s number. I can complain about the practice but it is really beyond my control – so I just have to live with this little annoyance with the problem. I just hate having to go back through my collection searching out these coins making changes on all my flips. To be honest I don’t always do it. Therefore I know my collection has several coins in my collection that are incorrectly referenced. Someday I’ll have to pull all the varieties that have had these type of changes out of my collection and re-attribute them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
