Chile: 1 peso km231, impossible variants [Resolvido]

Hi,

look at this.....

As much as I like variants, this case disturbs me a lot. First you need perfect coins to be able to eventually find what you have. Second there is such a small difference between high and low reliefs that it is IMPOSSIBLE to see the difference.

THIRD thing is that in a swap you cannot trust if the variants are correctly noted (you can't even be sure that your own have been correctly identified!).

I would suggest to add a new year line for each year, saying I DON'T KNOW what I have!

All this because I thought a had a 2008 with a low relief, I got in swap a coin with a high relief, but actually that coin corresponds 100% to the coin I already had, so EITHER they are both HIGH or they are both LOW reliefs.

Another possibility is to delete the variety year lines, but keep the description of them in the comment fields.

What do you think?

I dread distinguishing between high and low relief, let alone varieties within high relief or low relief. The coin gets a small amount of wear and you have no chance of figuring it out. I don't see the significance of distinguishing these categories.

Of course I totally agree? For type collectors this is not interesting, so they would probably just enter their double coins anywhere? Excuse me for saying that?

​I agree too. Such options are interesting to register in the comments but it does not make sense to create separate date lines that do not help, but can confuse users.

the hair issue reminds me of the oz 5 cents coins, and to distinguish between the mints by the hair of the spiny anteaters..

Thanks a lot, I totally agree with you.

So, I just need the one of 2004 :-)
