Far Eastern Republic entries that should merge [resuelto]

Similar to case of bukhara, there are a few duplicates, again the differences are minimal and would be more reasonable to just have them mentioned as varieties under a sinlge entrie.

Hello, Polygon.

I merged the records from P#S1210, which did, in fact, refer to the same banknote.

Regarding P#S1202, merging records is always something we need to do with caution around here...

In the case of these records, similar to the previous request, I wanted to hear from @allexisand the @Oklahomanbefore we decide what to do in these cases.

We'll wait for their comments here in this forum.

Regards,

Vladimir

This were created by me when the catalogue was at the begining. We had no guidlines and the photos are not great. 

This info come from Krause Specialized Edition 2014: ‘ #S1209-S1211 simiar to #S1201-S1203 but larger size.’

What the size is I don't know, best thing is to add that comment on each page and leave them as they are.

Hello, Allexis. Thanks for responding!

Indeed, if there is a difference in the size of P#S1202 and P#S1201 banknotes, the registrations should remain separate. We will try a more thorough investigation to verify this.

Ive compared the size provided on two differnt catalogues, it varies a couple mm, with 5mm being the maximum difference (on length). 

Its not rare for civil war issues to vary in size, specially these, which were printed in large sheets and then cut (leading to irregular sizes).

I do now know how big of a size diference Krauze was talking about, but if its not mentioned in either of the catalogues i use im confident its nothing but normal variation. 

Any catalogue can be wrong so until someone can measure them I say don't merge.

This is taking skepticism too far.

If you feel curious the catalogues i comapred where Catalog of Russian banknotes from the civil war period of 1917–1922. 1st edition, October 2016, and https://fox-notes.ru/

The second one being online, and based on the contributions of people , auction houses and other sellrs, kind of like numista. Information sources and pictures are provided and discussed. They've been at it for 20 years, they specializae in notes, specially russian ones, so i think they know what they are saying.

 

That still does not mean they can't be wrong. I don't say they are but how can we be sure unless we can measure the notes?

Other (when they list size) give  similar numbers, here qre two examples one almost 85mm long and the other almost 90mm
