Non-existent coin? Israel KM# 435 2 Sheqalim 2005

Hello!

There was a coin in 5th edition of the World Coins Catalog - Israel KM# 435 2 Sheqalim 2005.
It is very much similar to Israel KM# 433 2 Sheqalim 2008-... - https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5579.html
In 6th edition it was removed, also it's missing on numismaster.com .
But it's still in Numista catalog: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces17423.html
The pictures show the same KM# 233 2008.
Numista Rarity index: 70 - that means some collectors marked that they have it. 4 collectors offer it for a swap.

Can anyone comment, what's true? Is it a real coin? Or should it be merged with KM# 233?

Hey, I thought there would be more reaction on this post :(

ok - my 4th edition of 2009 says:

Numismaster only lists KM#433, while KM#435 is missing completey. Worldcoingallery has KM#433 only,
too. The Internet does not know about a 2005 issue either. My Schön & Schän catalog is not new
enough to know any of these coins. Only chance is to ask all users claiming to have a KM#435
and check for the hebrew dates. However, interesting fact that both were listed with different
edge design.

Hello,
The weights, the diameters and the edges are different.
In the 5th edition 2011:

Phil, do you have KM# 435 ? Could you compare these coins? We suspect there was an error in the catalogue.

Sorry, but I don't have this coin.

a lot of users already answered. the results so far:
all of these admitted that they mistakenly took the closed date letter in KM#433 for an open "ה" one
in התשס״ה in KM#435. which seems you're right that 2005 does not exist but is rather an error of
Krause that they amended in recent editions. however, users report in that they have different
edge design (segmented and complete reeding or similar). I wait for images and further details.
maybe this is why WC confused them and created two different entries

Thank you for your investigation! Waiting for final results!

further information from user didi83:

ΑπόσπασμαI am not sure but it is maybe like this:

KM# 435 - 2005 - Does not exist..?

KM# 433.1 - 2008 - edge plain with larger reeded segments
KM# 433.2 - 2009 - edge plain with smaller reeded segments

Both reeding are segmented, but 2008 has longer reeded segment and different to 2009, as you see on previous photo...

please check yourself if this suggestions applies

Great!
Should we do something with this Numista catalog entry? https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces17423.html
By the way, your interviews raised its rarity index up to 74  

that is because users already transferred their entries to the correct sheet  
weeellll - seems we have to wait a bit longer. I want to give all of the chance to transfer their
collection on their own. other than that I will inform Xavier (the admin of Numista) to have permission
to transfer them all in a week or so. after that - the false entry will be deleted.

results so far: about 7-8 users already transferred their entry - it IS an error.
no one reports in that he/she really has a 2005 issue.
