Hi,

*To make it clear, this is about how information is exported to xls sheet for offline use. It's not a problem if we have online access to the website*

From the problem that I related here (https://en.numista.com/forum/topic107272.html) I would like to suggest some modifications to the website/catalog

1/ The most accessible catalog to worldwide collectors (in coins case the Krauser) should be used as the main ref # , not local countries catalogs, those should be the secondary ref #. It will make easier for collectors from different countries to talk about a given coin.
2/ Since most coins have a secondary catalog ref #, that could be exported too when creating a xls.
3/ If not possible, the same result as 2 can be achieve by adding the secondary ref # at the coin comment section.

a) If for every country we will use it's local catalog ref # it would become a bit confusing.
b) Not everyone lives with 24/7 easy internet access to check the ref#, so having a coherent sheet for offline use is most usefull.

Thanks

Julio

If reference type would be available in filter options (and user defined), this conversation would be redundant.
