I used 'Colnect' for a year or so, until recently, and did many swaps from there. Hmm, you've reminded me to check Numista again. The dashboard feature with it coin map is a nice touch on the site. Been adding a lot of coins have you? [ Edited Mon Jan 10 2011, 03:07pm ] | ||

Take a look at both 'England' & 'Scotland' on Numista for example.They are depicting coins that are on here,on http://www.allnumis.com ,& on http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/BCNumismatics .

It's actually very east to upload photos there through the comments system http://colnect.com/help/collecting/comments/ but the concept is different than here. Here it seems every collector can upload his own coin and on Colnect there is a main catalog that all collectors use and then each of us can simply do a single click to add a coin to the collection on Colnect. That's why most people don't have to upload pictures and that's why they can offer the automatic matching feature which I find so cool. Although I know Numista and OmniCoin I haven't found this automatic matching thing anywhere else which is why Colnect is my favorite. Anyway, looking out to seeing what CoinBrag can offer :) | ||

I emailed them to ask about adding sections for Community Currencies & Postal Orders late last year.Typically,I got NO reply! Community currency & postal order collecting has become popular areas of numismatics.In the case of postal orders,they are very popularly collected in England. Community currencies have been released in a big way in recent years,especially in Canada,England,& the U.S.A.. Aidan. | ||

Coinbrag has no emphasis on swapping (although the option to do it is there). I love coinbrag for the very reason that you can post every year of coin issues. This is what really appeals to me..and I love to see members coins they have posted up. You don't get that chance with the regular 'one coin fits all' that most other sites employ. As for Colnect, the automatic matching feature is now premium members only as of a few months ago. I don't feel like coughing up $20 a month just for that (nor do I have excel in order to upload and so possibly win premium membership) and I thought that matching feature was essential to the premise. I no longer use Colnect because of this. They got greedy in my opinion..so stuff 'em. Anyhoo, hello and all that. [ Edited Sun Jan 16 2011, 10:10am ] | ||

I would prefer a collaboration between Allnumis & Coinbrag,because both communities are very similar to a certain degree. Aidan. | ||

Did you do that? I know new categories are added to Colnect (now it has beer coasters for example) so your idea might be welcome. kaija, You are right it's a different thing when you can upload a picture of every single coin you have and when you have to settle for 'one coin fits all'. I guess the concept on Colnect is more of a catalog and here it's more of a personal photo album... Just a correction here: auto-matching on Colnect is NOT limited only to premium members. I know that members who help on Colnect (as editors or uploading many pictures) get their premium status for and others pay ~$6 a month and not $20... or at least that's what's written on http://colnect.com/en/help/collecting/premium_join Not that you should pay anything if you prefer to upload each and every photo you have. For me, it seems a bit demanding when you have a big collection. I tried to look for your coins here but didn't see them. Did you upload and I'm missing something? CD | ||
