Can we have thickness shown in the catalogue as well?

Currently when scrolling down the catalogue this is what you can see for each coin page without actually clicking into it:

So basically title, monarch, date(s), commemoration, metal, diameter, weight and catalogue reference(s).

I propose we make thickness visible here too; it would be useful in differentiating between thick and thin varieties among other things, without having to click into each page.

Hi,

I support that suggestion!

I'm also in!

But before we jump to this new functionality, there is a remark that I would like to make: variation in thickness can be non-systematic even in modern coinage (e.g. https://en.numista.com/forum/topic25456.html).

@ArnoV

Definitely see your point, but that's more of a problem with the thickness value itself than my suggestion.

Whatever the number we decide to put in that field on a coin's page, that number should be visible alongside diameter, weight, metal fineness, etc.

+1

-1 

 

Thicknesses in Numista are typically not Mint supplied values and much too dependent of user, their technique and equipment. I consider them basically useless (especially when measured on non high MS condition).  

I am agree that the measures are not exact (I myself use a ruler, precision ±1 mm, for diameters and thickness when I create a new page of object: I have nothing better). But… if the reason for refusing show the thickness here is its probable low accuracy, same reason can be used to not show the diameters or weights.🤔

The search results show only the key information about a coin. I don't consider the thickness to be a key information in general*, and I prefer to show it only on the page with all the details about the coin.

 

(* In the cases where the thickness is a key element to differentiate two similar coin types, there should be some indication in the title of the coin page.)
