Duplicate Slots? Australian Lunar Coins 0

[Revenant]

For the Series 1 and 2 Mint State category, is there supposed to be a slot for a 2017 Rooster and a 2017P Rooster?

Hello, Revenant. Yes. One coin is from Perth Mint and the other is from the RAM. Thank you.

Okay. That just seems... really odd.

Did the RAM only make one coin 1 year out of a 12 year series? If so... what were they smoking?

I think it would be better to have one slot for the year / design and make both coins eligible for the one slot unless they also look different and aren't just separated by a mint mark. I don't like the inconsistency of having two slots for that one. Just expressing my 2 cents - I know you folks have to do your thing. 🤷‍♂️

It is odd, yes. We have 45 graded examples, and this is the only set that can accommodate the coin. Thanks.
