Hi Andrew,

Sorry, we don't keep information about obsolete versions of GenBank cDNAs 
including RefSeq.  We have a weekly automated process that downloads the latest 
info from GenBank and aligns the cDNA sequences to each reference genome 
assembly.  So even assemblies that had obsoleted versions at some point 
shouldn't have them anymore, because the latest version has been aligned to 
them replacing the obsoleted version.  

I looked up NM_005656 in Entrez Nucleotide 
(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/205360942) and the record contains this 
line: "On Sep 20, 2008 this sequence version replaced gi:14602458."  hg19 dates 
to Feb. 2009, so it seems to me that NM_005656.2 would have appeared in hg18 
before ~Sep 20-27, 2008 but never in hg19.  NCBI gurus may be aware of an 
automated way to extract revision history from NCBI.  

Hope that helps,

Angie
