One thing I will definitely be adding in the future is a picture gallery. That way you can randomly browse without having to do a search.

I've been thinking about the coins being submitted and a good question comes to mind: Should submitted pictures be the first picture submitted or the best?

I think if a member of CoinBrag is nice enough to submit a picture, they should definitely get the tokens for the participation. But would you rather look at a picture of a rare coin in good condition, or mint?

I thought of allowing multiple pictures per coin with a rating system. A simple thumbs up/down would work, and whichever picture had the most thumbs up ratings would be the first coin picture shown. Then smaller thumbnails would be visible for multiple coins.

The problem with that is the massive number of coins and the possibility of an even more massive number of pictures!

So since I'm not the only one who'll be using this site as a resource, I'm interested in some ideas.

I think if multiple pictures are allowed there should be a rating system so that pictures that best show all the details of the coin can be the first pictures shown. I know when I was adding pictures before I found the new shiney coins did not scan as well and details of it were lost. Basically in my mind the guide should focus on what pictures show the best details where as in real life you would want the coin that was in the best condition. I hope that makes sense
