The syntax for retrieving data for a single coin is straightforward and follows this format:

&getCoinNumber={coin number}

However the coin number format is pretty non standardised at present. The original concept was to follow the numbering of the end two digits of the recording year, with the current number of that coin for the year. This means that you see records with numbers such as:

00.0001
00.101
etc.

The Index numbering routine will change shortly as new items are added. Coins added from the PAS will retain their numbers in the format PAS-12ABV123 whilst CCI added records will be seen as CCI-12124

Good luck with this one!
