The brown oxidized seal still has some orange-brown appearance. I really don't see that with my seal. I'll just leave it as it is.

You cannot add a 'series' item with a se-tenant in hand. I could only misinterpret that. Logical, right?
[edit]I think it's quite logical that you interpreted it that way. Apparently a difficult PB compromise is counterproductive here, i.e. simplifying the rules or providing (even) more explanation.

Thanks for the responses. However, I have no idea yet whether I can enter this and with what kind of data. Who wants to say?

Because of the story of that 1st image (07:54 -> loose stamps or leave it empty) and 2nd image (the se-tenant) you completely misled me, and perhaps others. That in combination with a jump that it has to be done together. What has now become clear is that it is not the case.
And I could only try to jump on it exuberantly, as long as it is not official :)

If it isn't, then it isn't. Also a statement.
Once in the manual it is followed. No more.
Regardless of the fact that it sets a dangerous additional precedent.

If it has to be done separately, then I don't think there is a problem with the 1st and 2nd images. You add what you have to the catalog. With your own image as the 1st image.

I always assume that the largest possible se-tenant always represents a complete series.
Clear example that unclear rules lead to personal interpretations.

No response to my message today at 4:08 PM - Very disturbing.
What's so disturbing about it, you've seen the proposals for Series and Se-tenant, right?

@Allen
Discussions at Stamps are difficult, both on the forum and via PMs and emails. Everyone is happy and excited when we want to define something that has not yet been described. Participate fully in discussions and make proposals, up to the point that choices have to be made. Then suddenly there is less thought towards a consensus, and then one's own interests come into play. Since no one can get 100% their way, everyone will turn against the choices made.
Perhaps it would be better to go back to the good old times, when everything was decided in a black box without recording anything. Good for years of asking questions and asking why there are no answers to the questions asked.
I would like to quote a statement often made on the forum: It is what it is.

Helv Collectioneur No response to my message today at 4:08 PM - Very disturbing.

I find se-tenants especially interesting as stand-alone objects when they are torn from large counter sheets. Not if someone removes the sheet edge or block edge from somewhere.
No one collects blocks with sticker or sticker residue in the margin - Remove the sheet edge and tear off the stamps, offer them as a series and they will sell like cakes.

The fact that some se-tenants also happen to be a series does not matter for the se-tenant designation. It remains only the Se-tenant type.
I always assume that the largest possible se-tenant always represents a complete series.

Thanks for the reply.
I understand that such a thing is impossible in practice, because how many coins are in the LD catalogue.
But there are plenty of honest experts at LD.
I gradually discovered this over the years.
Because some sellers who, for example, mention 'Very fine' as a qualification, also show the coin with a sharp photo.
Then you can see that it is correct.
Those sellers also often have positive feedback with an additional comment that shows the buyer's satisfaction.
If buyers pay attention to this, they will not have a disappointing bad purchase.
I also buy from some sellers who do not provide scans or photos.
Then when I see who has given positive feedback, I no longer hesitate.
Because then I know that things are going well.
However, some sellers provide vague or poor scans or photos.
Then I drop out more often.

I always send my "payment invoice" via LastDodo, but also via the buyer's specified e-mail address. So please be sure to keep the 2 options.

Maximum Se-tenant is a combination item.
I don't know if I understand you correctly now. For me, a maximum se-tenant is 1 single object in the line of sheets and blocks.

I find se-tenants especially interesting as stand-alone objects when they are torn from large counter sheets. Not if someone removes the sheet edge or block edge from somewhere.

Maximum Se-tenant is a combination item. Just like Series is one.
I hope that this 'exception' will also be mentioned in the basic manual (where the first exception is explicitly mentioned).
Legalize a second exclusive exception, solely for the stamp section.

It was not completely correct due to the statement 'if a stamp from the maximum se-tenant is also issued separately in sheets'. But these were rather exceptions where no one could prove that they had actually been sold separately (loosely) in sheets.
My proposal was partly based on that. Not correct and not always controllable (causing doubt).

We are going in the other direction, with thousands of new combination items finding their way into the stamp section.
Whoever says A must say B. Include a second exception for the stamp section at the highest level (basic manual).

And because excess is harmful... I don't see why administrators of other sections should just accept this.
As a cigar band collector, for example, I eagerly await the series item in that section.
It would also be easy for sellers to be allowed to add a complete year of magazines as a 'series' in the catalogue. Much simpler and clearer.

my strictly personal opinion (without any administrator hat on) is that it is much simpler to always allow "Series" and "Se-tenant" separately.

I got the impression that the majority of the forum agreed with this comment from Helv - I even got the impression that this statement had been accepted as such - Have I missed messages that have undermined the statement?

According to the current definition in the stamp manual (agreement/definition that has been valid for > 10 years): only #636247 is allowed. The rest is not allowed.
Even though there are lines reviewed by (super) administrators.
That's how I was taught.

What it will become after the manual has been amended: over to the super administrators .

I once received such a starter set of euro coins during conversion and there is a 2 euro cent in it that is not copper but is the same as the 10 cent material. (Or has not had the copper bath)
I came across it while cleaning up and was curious.
I thought so too at the beginning
Reported on its website.

Is that considered a mistake or something else?

Arco will certainly not turn in his grave, but rather give it a thumbs up because of the clarity.
If you select Series under Stamps on the left, you only expect series with individual stamps.
So even if you select the Se tenant as a type, you expect to see only se tenants.

Charles1971
The new rules still have to be incorporated into the manual, so please do not anticipate but first wait for the final texts. In any case, this means that we do not have to make massive changes to everything, this can also be done gradually. Starting with new items.

Now I don't understand it anymore either. Let's see where I end up.
In this example there are 6 se-tenants known, 3 3ers and 3 2ers.
#636247 is the series and a se-tenant. Fig. 1 is the series and Fig. 2 is a se-tenant.
May the other two se-tenants of 3 be used as Figs. 3 and 4, in the series ?. And is this serial/se-tenant?

But the se-tenants of 3, #3986797 is one of them, can also be used as their own item, together with the 2ers, #3986785 , #3986787 and #3986789 as the fourth, fifth and sixth image?. The problem is that the third se-tenant of 3 is not yet with LD. This should actually be as picture 3. What to do with this?

Perhaps still with the publisher itself. They often offer leftover trade fair editions on their site (I just looked but don't see it there (yet). But I think an email makes a lot clear.

There should be no misunderstanding as to whether an item is a Series or a Se-tenant. A series consists of separate stamps and a se-tenant are stamps that are attached to each other.
The fact that some se-tenants also happen to be a series does not matter for the se-tenant designation. It remains only the Se-tenant type.
The fact that a series (individual stamps) may consist of a se-tenant can be indicated as a 2nd image, but the item is and will only retain the Series type.

Anyone who offers a se-tenant and does not post their own image will show the image of individual stamps in their shop (catalog image).
In the current rules I read that a maximum se-tenant belongs as an independent item in the catalog. Otherwise you get the strange situation that maximum se-tenants that contain fewer stamps than the full series are allowed and the others are not.

In case of #10073705 must therefore be determined whether the se-tenant type is maintained there and the second image must be removed. Or the species must be changed to Series and then the images must indeed be reversed.

In this case, easy because nlae knows what he has in his hands. For other items it will be a more difficult process, but in my opinion it is important for clarity and intuitive user convenience:
- You order a se-tenant and you receive a se-tenant;
- You order a series and you receive the individual stamps, or you have to tear them off yourself if you happen to receive a se-tenant.

That's how I understand it, and that's how I think it is best (also a tribute to the group that decided this way > 10 years ago after much discussion and thorough thinking).
There are 2 changes:
1. first image of loose stamps. That is the item in the catalog that clearly shows which stamps are involved. The 2nd and following images are example representations of the maximum se-tenant. Multiple representations are often possible (different order of stamps in that se-tenant);
2. You no longer have to hesitate and spend hours looking for whether or not the stamps of a se-tenant have been issued separately in sheets. And you no longer have to worry that such a skin will suddenly appear later. The rule applies to all maximum se-tenants.

Originally the main type was se-tenant (1st image). This creates confusion if a seller makes no effort to post their own images (more than 3/4 of suppliers). The individual stamps (series) are often offered and a buyer is shown the image of the se-tenant. The catalog value of the item was also too high for most offers.
For maximum se-tenant, it is always assumed that you show with your own image in which composition (order, orientation, ...) those things hang together. If there is a seal or label attached to it, the user will at least see that.
The catalog value on LD must be based on the series (individual stamps). A se tenant can have a higher value. You then prove that higher value (for example if there are 2 labels on it and you think it is more valuable) with your own image. Naturally supplemented with your own textual comment.

Most efficient, effective and practical.

Anyone who offers a se-tenant and does not post their own image will show the image of individual stamps in their shop (catalog image). The buyer is never deceived this way. No more unpleasant surprises. If he really wants the loose stamps, the buyer can loosen the stamps if desired. Or they can jump into tears with contentment: the buyer chose the series and thought the price was okay for the individual stamps. It can be a pleasant surprise if they receive those stamps together (se-tenant).
