I recently had someone make a request for a new coin, with a linked coin included on the page. I clicked the linked coin, and it was another coin that was part of the same series for Niue. It says "This page has not been published yet.", but it doesn't show up on my verification list. I clicked the modifications history on the page, and this is what I got: "2016-07-19 03:57:40 – coins-on-coin – Page creation (approved by nthn on 19 Jul 16:57)". It has been unmodified until now. So I am confused as to why I have an "invisible" coin waiting for verification that I can't see.

I don't think you can see it, but it is the linked coin on this page: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces106816.html
Hurraayy! Another found, good work. There is no going back from this, you can only recreate it from scratch, and then we can delete this stucked one.

What do you mean another found. It this an ongoing problem?
Sometimes it happens.
Catalogue administrator
Is there any way to find them other than stumbling on them?
I am not sure, probably Xavier could try? But I am happy whenever one is found.

I remember some time ago I found one of these and then found many more using Google search for Numista and got them all deleted by Jarek (because they were duplicates) and in 1 case I re-created the page.
I don't remember now though how I've done it to find all these and clearly more sheets exist.

I think only owners can find these.

Most of them are validations, that are sent back to creators for modifications and they never send them back to us.

Other possibility of their creation is when country name is changed while they are in "validation mode".

​What do you search for to find them?
Google search:
site:https://en.numista.com/catalogue "This page has not been published yet."

I got 1,440 results
Some of these are requests waiting to be validated - and probably some like the mentioned case
you can probably add a keyword to search specific country coins

So once I have the member create a new page, then I can ask you to delete it?
Yes, that is sadly only way. (Unless you sent it back for modifications and member forgot to resubmit the coin, solution would be reminding him to do so)

​Here is a list of coins you can delete. They are all in the catalog now.
