first of all thanks a lot for the great tools Numista offers.
I visit Numista website every day and in the last year I had only good swaps - all of them arrived and collectors are very honest and correct - sometimes they add little coin presents.
So I have now nearly completed my collection of all Euro coins that can be found in circulation except some.
In Numista user can select the exact year of coin they have for swapping like e.g. Austria 10 Cent 2017.
But I can only select 'I wish to get this coin' for a group of coins and not a special year. So if I select in this case Austria 10 cent 2nd edition and I use the "start a swap" function I find all users who have any 10 cent Austria 2nd edition which are approx 10 years - 10 different coins.
As usually the coins with low mintage are missing this brings a lot of results with coins I already have.
I hope you understand the problem.
So my question to improve Numista is an own I wish to get this coin for each year and to make the start a swap search count the correct number of really wanted coins....
thanjs for the info, it is the way I do it at the moment.
Austria 2017 10 cent was just an example.
At the moment I try to get Belgium 50 cent 2016 which is low mintage.
Problem of the way you told me to do it is, that you find a lot user having this coin but in most cases this is the only coin in their swap list I miss.
In my country shipping is very expensive. So if I want to get a rare coin I have to offer a coin with high value and pay a lot for shipping. This means that it is sometimes cheaper to buy a coin on ebay or somewhere else - but I prefer swapping.
I understand it is a lot of work to chamge the numista tool, but I wanted just to tell you that this problem have propably all user who collect euro coins...
