Hi everyone, Scubafuel & I created a site to help collectors share their coins and browse each other's collections. It's called CollectiveCoin. What separates it from existing registries is: 1) You can upload any coin (doesn't have to be graded) 2) It is frickin' delightful to browse around and see other collectors' coins! The site becomes much more fun as more collectors sign up and there are more collections to peruse. CollectiveCoin has signed up a good number of folks in the past week and I hope even more collectors will participate. I'd love to get any feedback! - nbaum
Couldn't get your link to open on my computer and couldn't find the website using a quick Google search...
Thanks geekpryde! Jwt - going to collectivecoin.com should send you there. Then click browse to see what others have added.
I think it is a wonderful site. I just wish there was a way to download uploaded photos in bulk. Thank you and your friend for putting this site together. It is easier to organize coins than using Photobucket and makes for a neater presentation.
spirityoda - Absolutely. And in the next few days, we'll be making changes to allow for easier data entry for world coins. coinchemistry - Very happy to hear that! Can you explain what you mean by "download uploaded photos in bulk"?
I wish there was a utility that would allow users to select coin images and download them all with a couple clicks of a button rather than opening each entry and right clicking on each image to save them. That is the only major feature I see lacking. Again, I think you guys did an excellent job.
I would love to partake in such a site, but that means photographing all my coins, and that's a project that will take me a few years... :-~
Heh well we can't photograph your coins for you, but if you get that part accomplished we'd be glad to host them. CollectiveCoin now has a tab to see the all-time most-viewed coins on the site, as well as the most recently uploaded. Check it out! And as always, we'd love feedback from you guys or ways to improve. https://collectivecoin.com Matt (scubafuel)
This gives me some ideas. Watch out, lol, I'm thinking, again. But, really, do you know what I think would be nice? Look at the existing registries. They exclude raw coins. Exclude slabbed coins. Fight back. Do you know what you'd end up with? You'd end up with collectors who don't care about the market. I call slabbed coins, now, "market coins." That's the predominant reason they're in slabs, for the market. OK, some of you don't know how to grade, and that's why you slab. Well, learn how to grade. Simple enough.
You could actually pay someone to do it for you. Some of the services are actually not that expensive at all.
Eddie, I think Collectivecoin works really well as a registry, or a showcase for your collection. But we don't want to exclude ANYTHING, raw or slabbed. That way, you can have your full set at your fingertips for viewing, no matter what type of plastic (or no plastic) its in.
