Hide “sets only” in search results

I suggest to make a search filter to hide “sets only” / “BU” / proof coins in the search results. For example, when I search for 1 euro cent coins minted in 2024, the results list contains Finland. Of course, no normal Finnish 1 euro cent coins were minted this year, only 1000 “BU” coins. But there is no way to know this until you open the individual coin page. If I want to check all the countries this task becomes quite tedious.

(There are already many suggestions concerning “sets only” coins in the forum, but I was unable to find a post with the same or similar suggestion.)

I think this is just a variation of this suggestion which was rejected.

This is the suggestion where the option is tracked. Already opened, but not withheld for 2024

Maybe next year as it has quite a high support!

If we can finally address individual year keys they could have data about the indivual reference (like it's planned for 2024) but maybe also the circulation status (yes/no or more detailed: Year only issued in sets/BU/Proof/a fancy shmanzy other kind of finish).

Unwilling to wait for implementation of this feature, I tried to write a script which uses the API. It verifies the results one by one.

It is true that “comments” section (in year lines) is somewhat messy. 

In order to distinguish simple 2 euro cents from proofs and sets-only coins, I had to filter out undesirable year lines by their comments. After some trials and errors, it turned out that I need to perform case-sensitive search of “BU” and “BE” and case-insensitive search of the following:

sets only
proof
in sets
euro lots unc
blister
unc set
a suprimer
supprimer

It seems likely that other coins would need different filters.
