Hello!
I've been away from PMG (but not NGC) for a couple/few years and I've run into a problem when now adding new notes to my sets. It appears that the Registry does not allow multiple copies of the same P# Specimen note due to the fact that they have the same serial number (zeroes, as many Specimens do) but instead deletes the older version in the slot when a newer note is added with what the Registry thinks is the same 'reholdered' note.. Message is thus:
PROCESSED NOTES
These notes have been processed, and the results are explained on the right.

REHOLDERED NOTES THAT WERE REMOVED FROM YOUR COLLECTION
We removed the following notes from your collection because they have the same serial number as notes that were just added to your collection. Please contact customer support with any questions.

The notes above are obviously different, not 'reholdered'. This also happened with the pair 8052675-001/66 and 2085508-003/65. (In this latter case the two notes are actually quite different, one is the 1920 printing, other is 1918 printing, but because we are still using outdated Krause/Pick identifiers they have to share the same Registry slot, but that's another problem for a different discussion)
Can anything be done to allow multiple copies of Specimen notes to occupy the same slot in inventory despite the sharing of the same serial number? Thanks for any help!
