Variants: more information needed

some variants, you cannot know which one you have when you only have one coin
for example

India 2 Rupees 2006 Mumbai Mint large and small date
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5478.html

the 2006 on my coin is about 9.5 mm long
the 2007 on my coin is about 8.5 mm long (Hyderabad Mint)

the space between the 00 is wider in 2006 than in 2007
so I think my 2006 is a large date
do you have a 2006 coin with different size?

Hello.
On my site:

You will see the difference between two dates.

thank you, you have a great site!
I added some information on the coin above. The most obvious difference is between the two different reverse designs

I wanted to ask about this Greek coin
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2400.html
wherever I see this coin offered on the internet, whether as Brussels or London mint, the image has always one dot in the second group from the top, and two dots in the second group from the bottom
with your site, it's clear now, that you have to go from the top!

does anyone know what is a "knob on the 2" and a "plain 2"?

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3748.html
1982: what do large and small date letters look like?

"Knob on the 2" means something like a serifed, stylized letter "2". it has a point/knoblike
feature on the lower right base of the digit.
The plain one just has a straight base without any design feature

size of letters? well; you have to have both I think - to compare. someone might check with a ruler

cobra, thanks for adding the coins

Citation: Makake77"Knob on the 2" means something like a serifed, stylized letter "2". it has a point/knoblike

The plain one just has a straight base without any design feature

hmm, not quite. On cobra's site, the serif on the lower right of the 2 appears on both versions. The difference is the "knob" or "drop" on the top left of the 2

it says 1957 has "6.5 mm 10" and from 1958 "7.0 mm 10"
I don't know where to measure this. I have coins from 57, 58 and 63
the height of the 0 is 7 mm for the 57 and 58 coins and 7.5 mm for the 63 coin
the horizontal size of the 10 is 9.0 mm (57/58) and 9.5 mm (1963)
the 1957 and 1958 coins are the same, but the 1963 coin has a larger 10
the 1963 coin has also a bigger overall size, the diameter is 23.5 mm compared to 23.0 mm for the other ones

Hello.
Here is the 10 paise in 1957 and KM 24.1  1963 KM 24.2
0 is the smallest on the 1957.
Friendships.
Michel

 

any suggestion on how to get this informations into the sheet's comments?
so that other users know the difference when having such a coin

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces302.html
I have never heard of variants of the 1982 coin.
http://numismatica-italiana.lamoneta.it/moneta/W-ITL/33 calls the head of 1982 "testa media" ("middle-sized head").
Here we have "large head" (no mintage given) and "small head" (162.000) with no indication on which one is the usual coin...
Are there 162 million large heads and 162 thousand small heads? Or 162 million small (and large) heads with forgotten ,000?

hi
could you tell me please how to distinguish the variants of the French "5 centimes Marianne"?
https://fr.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2.html
1997 and 1998 there are variants with 3 folds, 4 folds, bee mark close to "5", bee mark close to "R", small serif on "8", full serif on "8"
how to tell the folds and the serifs of the 8? And: most important: Which bee mark do the folds variants have and which folds do the bee mark variants have? (1997)
Which 8 do the folds variants have and which folds do the 8 variants have? (1998)

Hi
Look this:

http://pimousse124.free.fr/monnaies/varietes/5centimesmarianne-plis.htm

thank you, this explains the "folds", but not the other differences

now another French coin: 10 centimes 1938/39
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces702.html

10 centimes until 1937 are 4 g, the 1938/39 should come in two different versions, I have 1938 and 1939 with 3 g.
I would think now that 3 g is the thin variant. But an entry "1938 thin" is missing.
And what is the difference between the two given 1938 variants, one should be "·1938 ·" and one "1.938."? What is the "error" at the "·1938 ·" coin?

here is a 1938 coin without any dots at the year
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320736684859
(this would be the copper-nickel variant? https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces321.html right?)

could anyone give any hint on this coin? Romania 1 Leu 1924
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2777.html
it says thick flan and thin flan - but which one is the 3.5 g / 1.38 mm one?
and does this difference appear with Poissy or Brussels coins?
(with/without thunderbold mintmark)

my coin without thunderbolt is 3.59 g / 1.5 mm - is that already "thick"?

It needs correcting. There is an error on the second line.
With thunderbolt is Poissy (p) thick flan
Without mintmark is Brussels (b) thin flan

done thanks

what is Type A/B wreath design and Type A/B of "2" in date?
who enters such clever kinds of descriptions?

clever he? that might be done by me    I had Yugoslavia done some time ago
whatever... sometimes you don't have any more information than this. It's taken from
catalogs (Krauses WC sometimes gives too less information) or internet sources like the one mentioned
above in the thread. a great source btw.
In this case it could be that the design A and B are only slightly different - or a description would be too
long and irritating. it would be better to just compare those coins if you have them. until then it
would be ok to enter a coin in either one of these entries - better in the "A" one - that's my suggestion

Citation: Makake77It would be better to just compare those coins if you have them. until then it

It irritates me when I can't figure out which type I have.  I end up just picking one type, but then the other type comes up in trade... and I end up with two of the same coin!

I know what you mean. honestly - we would change that if we knew how.
We just have to work with the information at hand. sometimes the only thing mentioned is
that there ARE varieties. You certainly know WC catalogs. I promise to take a look at my Schön & Schön
german catalog now. maybe I missed something.
  

maybe we have to collect images from the obverse from different users. we might find out the
differences with luck and time

hmm. no luck there, too
