Examples do not show all pictures.

The new Examples of the type allow up to 5 pictures.  However, only 2 (and sometimes part of the third) are shown:

Clicking on See the examples doesn't help as only the first two are shown:

Unless one clicks to enlarge the pictures and pays attention to the “swipe right” arrow will they know that more than two pictures are available.

Not sure if this is a bug or an idea to improve Numista but I chose bug as I doubt it was done this way on purpose.

I cannot find, where you find the "examples" option?

The “Examples of the type” section is at the bottom, between “Get this coin” and “Past sales”.

There is a problem with how the images are displayed (size, number…). See: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic44646.html#p1134160

The “Examples of the type” section is at the bottom, between “Get this coin” and “Past sales”.

It‘s kind of hide, not any standard users will find it at first glance.

In Ucoin it’s structurally on the page, in Numista it’s a feature implemented the way we can, pages are not designed to support it.

I like the idea but if we want to have more acceptation from users we need to make it more visible.

Now in Numista I need to browse all the page down to see a picture that I can not see together with the basic info of the pages, so I need to open 2 tabs to see the same as a standard picture.

The result as a long time user of Numista is I don’t use it because it’s difficult to use for me, it’s not user friendly.

Overall, I am very pleased and grateful for the work done by the team to improve Numista. However, I must admit that I am not entirely satisfied with this new feature. Fundamentally, I think it's great, but I dislike how it has been implemented.

Placing them at the bottom of the page, the occasional cutting of images as shown by @rsirian1 , and the inability to translate possible comments make this section, in my opinion, useless.

In my view, it would have been much better to add it through clickable links on the dateline, similar to how it is done for prices in the US catalog (and also with the small camera icon for quick viewing without opening the page). For example, for this coin: N#19856, there is a dedicated page for each dateline.

As mentioned by Stratocaster, I believe that on each dateline page, we could include photos and more specific details, such as different descriptions, inscriptions, and catalog numbers. Then, a list similar to the one on this page could be compiled automatically: N#48483.

Imagine for coins with numerous variations; it would be a mess to reference them all in the example section. With this solution, each line could show small variants, allowing users to see different mint marks, countermarks, and various states of conservation in a much more organized manner.

Should be relatively easy to implement since all examples when entered are tied directly to only one specific year line.

What I really want to see is for each line a link to the respective pictures, ideally with a sample picture that can be selected by a ref for example that you can hover over or enlarge right on the catalog page.

Regarding the fact that you can see the other pictures only once you zoom in, I'd say it's rather bad design than a bug really. The same design already exists for sales. Do you have examples of good designs for a similar case on other websites, from which we could take inspiration?

Regarding Basteros' comment, I just added pictures in the mintage table. If there is at least one sales record or one example, the pictures are now shown next to the year (using the same bad design that you see more pictures only once zoomed in).

I'd rather show the pictures directly rather than on a separate page. The separate page will make sense when we have more information to show for each year/version.

The sample I gave in my original post shows 2 ¼ pictures. I had assume making the box wide enough to show the rest ¾ of the third picture would be an easy way to fix it. 

What if there are 4 pictures then?

Showing the next picture partially actually gives a hint that there is more to see.

Thank you Xavier, that's a great feature!

How is the order in which the example or sale is displayed in the camera icon managed? Can we choose which one is displayed?

Regarding the display in the example or sale tab, can we adjust it so that it shows the entire first two (or three) photos ? 
This will prevent the photo from being cut off, and I believe there is enough space to display entirely at least the first two.

Right, I did not think about this… I really thought but I said: “all images can be show”. But the design would look bad.

Perhaps can be created a gallery with the images of each example or sale. This way if there are more images (hidden) an arrow icon will be show to right or left (these arrows indicate there are more images).

The right arrow does not show the next image, but rather the gallery scrolls to the left (it shows a new part of image on the right and hides a part of image on the left).

I do not know how make this “pretty” (using arrows). I did it with a scroll bar:

CSS code:

example_image {
    overflow: hidden    auto hidden;
}

This is perfect. Hover over the camera icon to see what's included.

I still think it can be improved:  please see this screenshot:

It shows one picture and part of the other, suggesting there are more than a single picture. When you click on the picture, size is increased, and it shows the arrow to right, indicating there are more pictures. So far, so good.

There are two links "(see more)" and “See the examples”.

In spite the link is a bit different, seems the results is the same.

Clicking on any of them will change page, showing only one picture (without part of the other, as on the previous one). When you click on the image, size is increased, showing the arrow to move to next picture, so it works the same way as the main page.

My suggestion is that two (or more) images could be shown in this page, same as on the main note page, when showing the pictures on top, or at least again showing part of the next picture, so it suggest there are more pictures to see. I think several pictures could be shown, since the credit of picture and variety description are placed below picture.

They're only the same because there's only one example for that page.  See more is because the date line comments are not fully shown.  See the examples will show all the examples.

I just added pictures in the mintage table. If there is at least one sales record or one example, the pictures are now shown next to the year.

This was done only in the complete display (not in the legacy display).

Was it what you wanted? or was it forgotten?

The legacy display is not maintained anymore. No new feature will be added for the legacy display.

Ok.
