I have a question about this coin:

 

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces9099.html/

 

The Numista webpage for this coin indicates it was minted in Paris, France, and that it should have a and engraver-general's privy mark (torch). I have looked over my example of this coin and could not find a torch privy mark, nor can I see a torch privy mark on any of the photographs of this coin on its Numista page.

 

The description of the privy mark on the Numista page for this coin states that the torch privy mark belongs to someone who didn't become the Paris Mint's engraver-general until 1896, yet the coin in question was minted in an 78 (1881) so the torch privy mark could not possibly be on this coin, right?

 

I think the indication of a torch privy mark on this particular coin is an error; I couldn't find any privy marks on the coin at all.

 That link has a  /  at the end so will not work. Try this: 

N#9099

 Also yes can not be there as too early [1881 / 1896]. 

 

I found a listing that agrees.

Sorry for the typo in the link to the coin page.

 

Being relatively new to the site, I don't know what the next step should be - if it is agreed that the information regarding the privy mark was mistaken, how is the necessary correction made in the catalog?

 Maybe the Referee for that country will read this, and have catalogues, 

and will make the change if agreed.

There is no referee for coins for Haiti. Should be posted in the Numista coin catalog forum (or moved there) with a requesting the modification of a coin in the catalog tag.
