(I know users can create series when modifying pages, but as this is a more general idea I put it here. I'm not a frequent poster so forgive me if this is not the right place for the post.)

 

Sometimes series of standard bullion coins (American Eagle, Canadian Maple, Austrian Philharmonic) fall into different pages on this site. This could be because of a general design change, different portrait of the monarch or change of the currency. This can make it it slightly challenging to get an overview of the entire series. Searching “maple bullion” for Canada results in this:

 

 

Some country's bullion coinage is ordered neatly already: the Netherlands' gold and silver bullion coinage for example is listed separately because it is denominated in a secondary official currency (although it is not a complete list) and the United Kingdom's Britannias already have different series for their gold, silver and platinum variants.

 

Is there a demand for such series for other bullion series? And would people rather see it separated by metal like with the Britannias or just all coins together?

I was thinking of putting all Vienna Philharmonic coins together, because there the gold has been going on since before the Euro and different metals and sizes only appear every so often. Since there was no modern Austrian referee to discuss this with, I decided to post it here and also extend the idea to other series. 

 

I hope this can contribute to making Numista more tidy.

Hello,

 

When I do a search with “maple bullion” for Canada I get 90 results, how come we don't get the same result ?!?

 

Are you sure you don't have a filter activated ?

Hello Québécois,

 

That wasn't the full list I got, just a small part. I meant it as an example of how lots of rare coins are shown in between the different entries of the “standard” bullion coins that more people have. Having them all listed in their own series would make the list more comprehensible.

 

Kind regards.

When I was appointed referee for Canada, I also saw the lack of organisation in the bullion coinage for Canada (or maybe I didn't see properly what was started by other referees before me). Honestly I didn't do much for those coin except making sure the missing infos were added. I corrected some Titles and added some missing years but I didn't spent time thinking how we should continue. Maybe I will add this on my list of things to straighten up for 2023.

Work started on Gold Maple Leaf (GML) Bullion coins and Silver Maple Leaf (SML) Bullion coins.

 

Please be patient, we will have to move and reorganised some years and do some grouping.

As this was only general idea, that needs to be slowly implemented and there is nothing to be done from admin side, I am “closing” this ticket.

To reply to the fist message, I gathered them using the Series field (French and English series). Is this somehow what you were hoping for ?

@André

Yes that seems very neatly organised!
