Want to exchange coins

Hi! I want to connect with people to build up my coin & banknote collection.  PM me at andrearcobb@yahoo.com.  Thank you.  Andrea.

Dear friend,

if you would like to swap, first you have to upload at least a portion of your collection or minimum you have to upload your swap list on Numista.

Happy collecting and regards,
phillip

Hi Phillip,
I'm trying to add my info on the lists. I somehow can't get it done. Can you guide me step by step?
Andrea.

Firstly you need to be logged in, as you cannot otherwise edit your collection. Then find the webpage with of each coin, and enter the quantity you own into the relevant boxes in the list of years, by grade. Add any you have for exchange into the "exchange" box of the correct year. It's easy once you know how.
If you need other advice, just ask.

Thank you for your reply.  I shall try again.

Hi! Are you able to look at my list and advise?

Verweis : Andrea CobbHi! Are you able to look at my list and advise?

 On your profile it says
Collection 52 coins / 6 countries
 but nobody can view it, to look at your list.

 You need to go on the left here to Your account, then Settings.
Then down the end in Personal options tick the first two boxes.
That would then put a link against your collection that peple can click on.

BUT - that is still only your collection i.e. coins you want to keep, that you have made 52 entries for.
For people to be able to send you coins i.e. swap, you need also to put some coins in the sixth column.

Thank you heaps for your instructions. I guess I can offer to swap only if I've got doubles.  I'll work on my list tomorrow sometime.
Blessings,
Andrea.

  That topic may also help.  
But yes, you need doubles first to add to Exchange (sixth column, after the grades). So you now know how to add coins at least, which is good.

P.S. I also see you've added another coin
 Collection 53 coins / 7 countries (view)
and the link is now showing. Thanks!  

 Also, once you have some coins in your exchange list, perhaps for your first swap you may want to exchange with a member in your own country, which would make postage cheaper. Go on left to Exchanges - Start a swap, then to Swap partners - Find members near your home!

 Also there is the cross or heart markings for each coin - if you do not wish to get a coin it has a cross, or a heart if you do want one. Takes a while to mark all coins that way, but gets easier with time or number of swaps. Every moment I get I like to mark some more coins! An example is below, where I clicked on a member's name, then 'Coins to exchange' ...



 The first column to the left of the date is the symbols showing for me the coins I have entered already >
Green dot: You don't own this coin
Blue exclamation mark: You own this coin, but not this year
Grey tick: You own this year

 Now that your collection is viewable, I see, for example, you have 2007 of this 5 Pesos coin ...
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces589.html

 so if a member you want to exchange with also has that coin and year for exchange, you would see a grey tick, if they have a 2005 of that coin you would see a blue exclamation mark, of if they have say a 10 Pesos of 1986 then you would see a green dot (as your only Mexico coin is a 5 Pesos and the other member has a 10 Pesos). And so on ... !
 That column you don't have to mark anything specifically, as the system takes note of all the coins you have already marked. On that image above is a second column of symbols to the left of the other one. That is for where you have been to a coin page and marked either 'I wish to get this coin' which would put a red heart at the top of that coin page, or marking 'I don't wish to get this coin' would put a grey cross. So in my image I should click on that last Bahrain coin to see if I would want it; then every swap in future would always show whatever I chose - and would not be displayed if I clicked on 'Hide X coins'.

  All a bit complicated perhaps, for a beginner, but it shows what can be done.  

Excellent!
Are you a teacher?
For now, I'll enter all coins in my collection.
Yes, I'm looking to connect with people with the same interests.
If you have time, can you please continue looking into my list and see if I get every entry right. Thank you heaps.  

Congrats to Andrea for successfully entering her doubles list, and ZacUK for his excellent tutorials to the newcomer. Happy collecting to both of you.
