This error is a separate coin entry, shouldn't it be just a line in the regular coin's page, like it's usually done for errors?

Because of the nature of the error it has a different reverse to the normal design so it was given its own page.

But this is an error that occurs on other coins as well. Are we going to make a "double obverse error" page for each such coin?

I don't think error coins such as this should have a separate page. If we start giving error coins separate entries their will be too many such entries. A separate line in the mintage section of the coin that the error originates from with a small note should be sufficient to acknowledge such coins.

Hi,
I'm in complete agreement with brismike, an extra line is enough, since it belongs to a KM type and should stay with that same km#.
Here a coin was created WITHOUT any number at all, which is absolutely no good. Create the line for for the double obverse coin AND show the documentation in the "comments" field, then it's also easier to find again!
Anyway it's a very interesting find, bravo!

Yes it is just a strike error, albeit a major one, not a different coin. Needs to be removed as a separate coin.

So the new Australian referee has decided that we are all wrong and this error coin should remain as a separate entry. It has not got a separate KM# and it will never get one either. So it is not a separate coin. It should be removed.

This should be removed. Kept as extra line of course, as it is done at coins with similar errors.

Hi, an extra line has been added for this coin and I have requested to have the problem page deleted by an admin.
Thanks
