I am sorry but proof coins are made differently here. And are not circulating coins, why are they on the same page. To me it is like putting apples and oranges together. Is it the space it would take to make new pages?
Just my thoughts
yours daryl
It is a double typo of proof coins or I am still uneducated and know nothing about poof coins? If it is about proof coins, I agree, I am trying to check them and if they are not set as non-circulating, I submit change request.
Citeer: "ALLRED1950"yes but what to do. You have proof coins and set coins. I just would like to see what every one thinks.
I tend to agree with you. As it is, in many cases the silver content (i collect mostly earlier silver commems) differs from proof to regular. So for me separating proofs and regular makes some sense and I would be in favor if it hasn't already been done
Unfortunately, the base metal proof strike will very often carry the same KM# reference as the business (circulation) strike so they must be listed on the same page. A Silver proof strike will very often have its own KM# so they would have their own page anyway.
Just because you can't see it ... doesn't mean it isn't there - Anon.
There are already some coins listed which are refered as one by Krause and thus sharing same KM - and there is no problem at all. I do not see any problem with two coin sheet sharing the same reference. And there is surely no "must"
It's to do with the Krause number. If a proof has not been given a different KM# to the regular circulating coin, then they are usually added to the same page as the circulating coin in the catalogue.
Citeer: "Jarcek"You are right in one thing - sorting proofs with circulations ones renders useless that green ticker - you own all years of this coin.
I don't want to sound rude but the same thing could be said about variants. Should those also get separate coin pages just so that some people can get a small green symbol on a web site? Just collect what you want, you don't have to get everything that is listed on Numista just to feel accomplishment.
I would not like to spread coins that are exactly the same design and material only different die treatment and pressures around the site, I like compact information. I would much rather have a year list that has a drop down for each year with all the different variants (incl pictures/links to pictures) and finishes (BU/Proof etc).
But like with everything I write - it's only my opinion.
All very interesting , It mainly as to do with its KM number. I like what Idolenz has to say. Were would you draw the line? I can see a very big mess if they were put all in different pages. The search would become a big mess. Have the same coin come up 2 or 3 times or more, but on different pages. I. E. euro cent one page for circulating, one page for proof, and one for only in sets. I was just seeing what other people think. I actually like how the pages are set up now. But to me regular coins and proof are very different animals. It is what it is, Krause has the same Km number, so the same.
edit actually one thing I would like changed on the page, is zebra lines . But iam an old fart an need all the help I can get
To work around all those proof / sets only/ coins showing up when you check lists against your collection, why not allow for a filter telling the comparaison procedure to ignore that kind of coins? Then everybody is free to make his choice?
Perfect idea Ole. Very simple solution and everybody happy (at least when the filter takes into account what is written in the comment after the year line because that's the only place where you can find the word "proof").

I agree, proof is just a variant of the KM#, or at least it can be treated as one. If i do a search by KM# i don't want to have to look at a bunch of different pages and figure out if it is proof, noon proof, date variation, font variation, etc. Better to have them all in one place and just go down the list and find the one you have.
