Request: Ethiopian 1977 25 Santeem page change [solved]

Posted: 11 Feb 2019, 02:22 #

The 1977 1 Santeem found here:

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2997.html

has a line for entry of proof coins, as does the page for the 1977 10 Santeem found here:

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4885.html

The page for the 1977 25 Santeem page doesn't have a line for entry of a proof coin, and doesn't allow changes via the usual method. "The list of years is complete and has been verified."

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4758.html

Here's my coin...the proof coins are identical to the KM# 46.1 type:

The proof should be listed as KM# 46.3

Thank you.

That page doesn't have an entry for 1977, and the proof I have is not magnetic.

Have a look at first, written 1969 (1977)...1969 ethiopian calendar = 1977 gregorian calendar

Oh, yes...I missed that. My mistake.

My coin still isn't magnetic, though.

Thanks, kind folks, for raising this issue. I agree that the 1977 proof line was missing from the non-magentic version of the coin, and I have just added it.

That was quick! Thanks, guys.

Thanks again for fixing that page so quickly.

There's just one minor detail. When I went to enter my coin, I noticed that the proof coin is listed as KM# 46.1 whereas it should be 46.3. This is in keeping with the other coins that I linked to in my original post, and I'm including a photo that I took of my Krause SCWC as well.

Thank you again.

Sidenote: @Remo, which edition of Krause are you using?
Here is the 2018 edition screenshot. (Note the different metals between both versions).

That's very interesting...and a little unusual. My copy of SCWC is the 33rd edition from 2006. It looks like you have the copy on CD-ROM; I have it as well, but I've mislaid it. I wonder if they changed the 1 and 10 Santeems as well?

Either way, I have the actual coin in my hand, and unless I'm missing something the change Krause made between our two editions seems to be wrong. It's not copper-nickel plated steel.

I don't know what else to say.
