I agree with your choice of DtSt "q" and Dates 1834, 1839 for the fixed fields. Presumably you are also including a 500 note to explain the blank on your title page date and why that might differ from the imprint date.</div>

As for your call number, my go-to reference for things like this is <i>Learn Library of Congress Classification</i> by Helena Dittman and Jane Hardy; it instructs that in cases of uncertain dates, or a range of dates, you use the earliest date in your call
number - so yours would use 1834.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Dear All,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">I have a publication date question.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The item I have to catalog is: <u>Index plantarum succulentarum in Horto Dyckensi cultarum : anno 183[blank]
</u> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The imprint has a date of 1834.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The author of this plant catalog, Joseph Salm-Reifferscheidt left blank spaces in the title so he could ink in the current year that he sent out the catalog (which also has spaces for corrections and amendments). So, the date could be
anywhere from 1834 to 1839. </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">My question deals with the OCLC record Fixed Field date and the MARC 050 call number date. Should the OCLC Fixed Field Date Status (DtSt) be “q” and should Dates be 1834, 1839, but then how should the call number date be reflected, since
the MARC 264 is 1834, yet the date in the title is 183[blank]. I want to have Fixed Field dates as 1834, 1839, but I do not see an example in
<u>LC Classification and Shelflisting Manual</u> , G 140: Dates nor in DCRMR under
<i>Date of publication</i>: 5.23. This does not seem to me to be a conjectural date since the imprint clearly has a date of 1834, so I do not see [not before January 1,1834] or [between 1834 and 1939] (all examples end with a question mark).</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">This should be easy, perhaps I’m overthinking.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Thank t=you very much for any insight in this cataloging matter—</p>
