<p>[QUOTE=&quot;justafarmer, post: 1332557, member: 3926&quot;]When I write a check and if for whatever reason that check needs to be voided - I leave it in my records as voided and I do not issue another check in the future utilizings that voided check&#039;s number. It remains in my records as voided as it reduces the chance of any future confusion. I do not recycle or re-issue invoice numbers, employee #s, Purchase Orders, warehouse receipts, cotton bale tags, elevator delivery receipts, contract #s and etc. Every document is issued in numerical order. If a document is voided, contract satisfied or etc that document&#039;s identification number is never recycled or reissued again. It just makes good easy accounting sense in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why the rant here in cointalk you may ask - well I am a variety collector and it just bugs me that the major attributors, CONECA, Wexler, Daughtery and etc do reuse/re-issue variety catalog numbers. They&#039;ll void a variety in their listing for whatever reason and then if a new variety is discovered down the road will catalog it using the voided variety number. I have varieties in my collection that were attributed years ago. Now when I refer back to my boxes of varieties and stumble accross a variety that has been replaced - I don&#039;t know if the coin I am holding is the voided variety or the new replacement variety without having to attribute it all over again. To be honest I find it very aggravating.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know the major attributors have their reasoning behind this practice and I am sure that it is fairly solid. I am of the opinion that voided listings should remain as part of the variety listing catalog and noted/qualified as voided and the catalog number not re-issued. Especially now that grading services are adding variety attributions to their slabs. As sometime in the future that variety may be voided yet that slab would still indicate its indentity as a variety (in error) for the life of the slab. And once that variety number is re-issued to a new discovery that older slab would give a false indentity of being a completely different variety. At least if a voided listing was retained and noted in the attributor&#039;s catalog - one could refer to this information and learn that the coin is no longer considered a variety, a dup;icate listing or etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is my rant[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
