<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 5254361, member: 110350"]I don't like using them either unless they come from a source I trust. Because mistakes get repeated all the time. For example, 99% of the time, the citation to this coin in SNG BM Black Sea is to Nos. 869-871. But I checked the online version, and only Nos. 869-870 are the same coin; 871 is very different. Obviously, after the first person made the error, hundreds have repeated it without checking. But the Anokhin mystery seems to be a case in which everyone used one number until 2014, and everyone has used a different number since then. So something must have changed, and I was curious as to the reason -- for example, whether it was an update, or whether 111 didn't ever exist, or whether 111 and 1023 both exist but one of them is an entirely different coin that someone originally cited by mistake, and everyone followed that mistake until someone corrected it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
