Mistake in Krause for Panama (KM#10)

I was sorting the Panama catalogue by reference and there are two entries for KM#10. One Decimo 1930-1947 and One Decimo 1966-1993. I thought the second one (1966-1993) was supposed to be KM#10a as the metal changes from silver to cu-ni, and the other entries for the 1966-1993 coins are 11a for the un cuarto and 12a for the medio, but when I looked up NGC the coin was entered in there as KM#10 as well. Can we assume that this is supposed to be KM#10a and Krause have just made an error?

I am rather starting to Presume the mistakes in Krause rather than assuming them. Ecapoe will have to take a look on this..

Hi,

from the 44th edition:




I do NOT know, how KM came to that kind of numbering, since it's quite BIZARRE, strange, stupid or whatever word you would like to use, but that's how it is
1966, km10,
1930-1947, km 10.1
1962, km10.2
It must have been a good, rather liquid meeting amongst the editors, to come to something like that

Take care, Ole

They grouped silver ones closer together it seems. Crazy stuff.

1930-1947 was the original design, they changed the design in 1953 for the 50th anniversary of independence, then in 1962 they continued with the original design again, so it would make sense for them to be 10.1 and 10.2 respectively.

In 1966 they changed the metal from 90% silver to cu-ni so the 1966 coin should be 10a. I seriously think it's just an error, as I pointed out, the quarter balboa from 1966 is 11a and the half balboa from 1966 is 12a.

Hi,

the original should have been km10, and it wasn't, so no real mistake, just straight craziness from the country responsible person.

My opinion, which is my responsibility all alone, Ole

If you think the situation with Panama km#10 is confusing, check out the mess they've created with Gibraltar (both in Krause and on NGC, who get their data from Krause):

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces81344.html - 1999 1 Crown (Football) - km#229 - ok, looks good so far...

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces14631.html - 2004 2 pounds (300th Anniversary of the Capture/Occupation of Gibraltar) - km#1057. Which also happens to be double-listed as km#1072 in the SCWC from at least 2013 to 2016.

So what, you might ask. Uh, but there is more!

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces35240.html - 2010 50p (Christmas) - Guess what? 2016 SCWC says this is km#229, too. Even if you overlook the fact that km#229 is already taken, a 2010 coin in the km#200s range? Really? All the rest of 2010 coins are km#1000+. So, what km# should it actually be? km#1229? Nope, that's 5 pounds from 2005. km#1129? Nope, that's a 2003 crown. But wait... km#1069 is 50p (Christmas) from 2007, km#1070 is the 50p (Christmas) from 2008, km#1071 is the 50p (Christmas) from 2009, so maybe, just maaaybe 50p (Christmas) from 2010 was supposed to be km#1072?

Hello to everybody.
Krause 37th edition, 1/10 silver coins Km# 10.1 and Km# 10.2; 1/10 1966 coin Km# 10a


Krause 45th edition, 1/10 silver coins Km# 10.1 and Km# 10.2; 1/10 1966 coin Km# 10. This doesn´t make sense. I think the mistake is here.
