Listing
The number after the variety type i.e. DDO-001
We give priority match to CONECA numbers
our 1955-DDO-001 will match CONECA DDO-001
Default is 3 digits in length, zeroes in front to fill. 4 digits will be used when the need arises.
| (variety type)-00X | As yet undetermined |
Unique Identification Number
An identifier unique for the coin. Same purpose as the serial number on a PCGS slab. Anyone would be able to type this number into a not yet existing website to verify ID and view images.
The UIN would be well served being separate from or added as an extension to the Standard Attribution: 1955D-DDO-001 UIN:425356
This section needs further development
| UIN | 1 |
the first coin attributed by the service would be #1
|
|
| UIN | 12345 |
Reserve the first 12345 (or however many) UINs for later assignment
