Suggestion to replace "placeholders" in swaps for better grades

2 posts • viewed 148 times

You certainly have coins in your collection, which are only “placeholders”, because of a lower grade, than you would have liked!

 

It would be nice, if you had the opportunity to put a parameter somewhere, saying “Dear Numista, please ignore all my coins below ”GRADE" for any swap and mark those coins as “missing” in my collection.

 

This would mean you would be offered those placeholders again, and then you would have to see with your partner, if the coin he's offering is of a better grade than yours? 

 

PS. Of course, you already have this option: Don't enter your placeholders in Numista!

Your idea is similar, but I think better than mine:

It received some votes, but no action yet.  Recommend the discussion be moved to “Numista Website” forum and make it “Suggestions for Numista” so it can be voted on.  Maybe we can then get some movement on the idea.

 

(copied from link above):

Would it be possible to add a block to show what conditions of coins I already own when compared to another user’s swap list? For example, this user has XF coins that I already have (the check mark ✅ on 1994 and 1995 25 centavos). If we could display not just the check mark, but also the condition of that year I already own (F for example) I might add them to the swap to upgrade my collection.

Ideally, I think it would look something like this:

Or perhaps by hovering over the ✔️ it would reveal the condition in your collection
