I'd like to split the year lines into "plain 5" and "fancy 5" but I don't know how to do that since there is only one (non-proof) year line with the comment, "Plain; Fancy; Repunched date (double date) variety exists." Any suggestions? Maybe keep the current year line but add 2 new ones?
Yep, life is not as easy as it should be, the sins of the fathers weigh heavily on the year lines of their sons.
So, we need one for the fancy, one for the plain, and we also need to keep the proof line. The best solution is probably as you suggestede to add two new lines (fancy and plain) and with the time the double titles line will/might/should die out. At least this way, people like me will not be be too disturbed, (yes, I have a 1865, but I haven't verified;, if it's fancy or not!!)
Have fun, you'll get more problems like that, before we have finished, some nice ones are coming up even in the dimes, 1829 is something, I'm fighting with it now, but I will leave it for my dreams or night-mares and then finish it tomorrow.
BTW, I can NOT find anything about the repunched 1865, so it's probably another Whisky fume of the guy doing the transfer SCWC (no mention, www neither) to Numista. Take it out, since I really don't like anything written which we can not prove to be existing. We rectify what we can and when not possible, then it's most probably because it's not true!
The only place I found anything about it was in the Red Book where it says, "One variety of 1865 appears to show traces of a 4 under the 5 in the date." I couldn't find any pictures of such a coin.
So it's a rumour and as such not a fact; hence no inclusion nor mentioning in our documentation. Just my opinion, if you want to include a ghost, go ahead
I wouldn't add it if it wasn't there already but I hesitate to delete it since it is there and we can't prove it doesn't exist. I will modify it to read, "Overdate 5/4 may exist" to leave open the possibly that it may not exist.
