Lack of photographs

On another part of the forum, another collector mentioned the fact that his application for a new additional were rejected due to no photographs.
I have just been looking through the 'latest coins' and was surprised to see many without photographs.
My question therefore.
Does anyone know how many coin listed on Numista, do not have photographs. Also the percentage would be interesting.

8338 in total: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?mode=simplifie&p=1&r=%2Fno-picture%2F&e=&d=&ca=3&no=&i=&v=&m=&a=&t=&dg=&w=&g=&f=&c=&co=y&cno=y&cc=y&cn=y&cj=y&ce=y&cu=y&cat=y

So out of 93296 coins and tokens - less than 10%.

Wow,
That is a lot higher than I thought.
Do you think that collectors on Numista will have a large percentage of these?

Surely, I just messaged owners of the first two coins on the list. But it will take a lot of time to go through this.

That is probably a full time job for someone, and doing nothing else. Mind blowing task

Hmm, just noticed the search takes into account even those with only one image - usually uniface coins. So that takes it down a little.

Maybe in the case of uniface coins we should upload a 1x1 white pixel or what ever the smallest resolution is for the backside that is most often not depicted?

Am I able to find out, easily, what coins I have listed that do not have photographs?

Open search, click options, select IN your collection and search for: /no-picture/

That should do.

Goodness me, I got it to work. Have a couple of coins I need to find. It could take time, but I am on the case.
Thanks for your replies and help

Hi,

some of the coins you find making a yahoo search as "aldernay pound images", are such images accepted?
