What I have done is when replacing a damaged book with a new copy, instead of deleting, I just use "replace barcode" to make evergreen think the new time is the old item with a new barcode. Then I update any information that needs changed like price if we paid a different amount for the replacement, etc. This keeps the old circulation stats for the new copy.
