It's actually 4 in the morning in Huntington Beach. I'm up because I'm working on APUSH and, as teenagers like to say, YOLO (although I don't say it myself).
I'll verify them as soon as you let me know what country it is, and I'll search it.

Date requests are annoying. But they're all accepted.
You forgot something important. When checking the "unknown date" box, you have to put in the year of issue for both boxes. So if it was issued in 1972, for example, you put 1972 in both boxes.

I think more work should be done in the catalog, with all due respect to SmartOneKg; if you don't have time to work on catalog, than more Team members should be appointed. Some requests have been pending from a long time on this forum. Team member Florino https://en.numista.com/echanges/profil.php?id=2140 did a great job a couple of days ago. I messaged him and he fixed my request in minutes.

How can a silver coin be in circulation in 2012 in Spain?

If I was verifying the request, I would accept it, especially if it's a proof coin.

Απόσπασμα: kommodoreWell it's obvious.
There isn't any silver coin anywhere in the world for circulation.
Mate please confirm the other Spanish request I made.
I think a clear definition of what a circulating coin is would help.
Silver coins don't commonly circulate, but many commemorative silvers are legal tender and then there are bullion coins like American Eagles that do circulate between bullion investors.
Of course I realise the latter is not what is meant by circulation, I'm just pointing out that the definition is not obvious.

Untrue! People find silver coins in circulation in the U.S. and Canada all the time. Sure there are no silver coins being struck for circulation, but they are still out there.

True dat. I find silver Roosevelts all the time, let alone silver nickels.
Demonetized is like when a bank decides to remove a certain coin from circulation completely, in which they are not legal tender anymore. An example of this is Spanish pesetas, French francs, Greek drachmas, coins that do not and will not circulate anymore.
Silver coins, like silver certificates, are still circulating and are therefore not demonetized. Demonetized US and Canadian coinage is like large cents from the pre-Civil War period, 1/2 penny-sized cents from the George V era, and small and large coins from Canada and US, respectively (dimes were larger than today's dime).

Απόσπασμα: kommodoreSome new requests on an USA dollar.
Oh when I saw this post I was like, "What is he saying?"
I'll take care of the requests when I get home. You're one of those few members that, whenever you put up a request, it is almost always a good request. Most requests are accepted, don't get me wrong, but sometimes some requests don't make sense. Could you provide me a link to the Spanish silver coin you're talking about?

Απόσπασμα: kommodoreIt's absolutely no chance this coin is circulating.
Well...
There are a lot of owners of the coin. Usually when I see a lot of owners of a certain coin, I sometimes consider that the coin is circulating. I think what Florino meant was not circulating, but legal tender. There was a discussion within the team forum (I'm not afraid of "keeping things in the dark", so don't worry certain members) regarding the difference between circulating and non-circulating, and I still think that coins like these are not circulating.

Actually the vast majority of the coins are legal tender.
But here on Numista it doesn't write legal tender...it says circulating coin: yes/no.
And that is definitely a non-circulating coin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro
You can see here coins range from 1 c to 2 euro.
Thanks, you two :)
I had a new reject on a 5 EURO silver coin.
Austria KM#3113: 5 Euro (Football)
Request date: February 10, 2013, 04:56PM
Request state: Rejected
Reason: This coin is considering in cirulation by €uro5 book, Florino28
Florino28 YOU CAN NOT FIND ANY COIN EXCEPT THE 1cent 2cent 5 cent 10 cent 20 cent 50 cent , 1 euro and 2 euro in circulation !!
Especially not a silver coin!
Απόσπασμα: kommodoreWell I want to know at what shop in Europe I can give 5 euros and receive a silver or a gold coin.
And what's that €uro5 book?
There is no explanation in the Guideline for to Editing the Catalog about what is "Circulating issue".
There are coins made for circulation, which in the case of the euro are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 euro cents and 1 and 2 euros in non-precious metals, including commemorative 2 euro. And others made for collectors, which in the case of the euro are all others. I think this is the logical criterion Numista we should practice.
The error probably comes from confusing the above with the legal tender concept. European legislation on coins for collectors say they have legal tender only in the country of issue. But the laws of each country can or cannot accept it, and even change the approach in different years and particular coins. A mess.
I am pretty sure the circulating issue on Numista means that the coin can be found in circulation.
Not that it has legal tender.
Most of the coins have legal tender.

If "Circulating issue" meant legal tender, every coin on Numista would be marked as circulating. I think we're all on the same track.
