Swap coin grades

Hi,

   Where can you see what grade a coin is in another persons list,

  when considering a swap?

  


   

I don't know how to grade coins yet so if you looked at my grading it wouldn't be right. I think the best thing to do is ask them to send you a scan/pic of the coin and let you decide.

If I'm entering all the information on grading ,there must be a way for people to see it.


I'd really like to know how. When I look at other peoples coin lists, I don't see anything as far as the grade of the coin.

I'm looking for Vg-F-Vf-Xf-UNC

The other person has to make a note about the grade and then it shows up in a bubble next to the year.

I always fill the swap coin in too in my list, so when people swap with me they can take a look in my list, to see which grades are available for swap, I also sent a picture of the coins before sending it.

Dear All
I am a freshman on Numista, and for the last couple of days I've been found myself cutting and converting my doubles list so it would fit the template offered by the site.
Unless I misunderstand something, but to my opinion, several details needed for a proper coin evaluation, are missing in this template:
1) There is no place for the coin description, what might be very valuable to eliminate possible mistake with KM#. Sometimes KM no's change is initiated by the catalog publishers.
2) There is no place for the coin's metal composition. Today many coins are made of plated steel and look very similar to their nickel, bronze etc analogues. Sometimes you even don't notice (the steel ones are magnetised).
3) There is no place to mention the condition of the coin what is vital to define its value.
4) There is no place to mention the coin's mintmark. It is important to some collector.

I would suggest allow users upload their doubles lists as Excel worksheets, or enable the specified above fields in the template.

I wish to all members enjoyable collecting and hope for good cooperation.
Regards,
Ilia

Hi

all your questions are already provided for in Numista. It is one of the most perfect sites for coin swap I have seen.

If you click the coin image you can see all details such as metal, year of issue etc..
You can also put in a personal note against each of your coins (applicable only to your coin) such as if the coin is XF or UNC or very bad with scratches etc.. put whatever you want to put.

Hello,

You will find an answer to your question(s) in the Numista documentation :

• How to enter your coins to your Numista Collection
  under "Enter your collection and your swap coins , you can read:
   "In the boxes you can enter:
  * (...)
  * personal comments about your coin (in set, fake, grade, catalog value, swap value, etc), in the box . Your personal comment will also be visible to your swap partner."
  * (...)
  
• Swapping step-by-step
  you can read:
  "Don't forget to read the personal comments by moving the pointer to the icon . Indeed, besides the information concerning the general comments (text in normal writing), certain members write here indications concerning the state or the value of their coins (personal comments = writing in italics)."
  

Hope this helps,
J.
