Suggestion to include in the swap if you already have that coin/banknote or not

Hello, dear collection mates, Here I am again with another suggestion, and then I will write 2 more that I also have in mind, haha. 

Here goes the second: A few days ago, I created a suggestion in the spanish forum (now here, too) saying that it would be good if the value that Numista gives to each coin appeared on the exchanges. We all know that they are indicative values, but precisely for that reason it would be good that is could appear next to each coin on the swap panel and even the sum of all of them, in the two offers, in the same way that the sum of the weight appears. This would help a lot with the swaps when assessing whether the exchange is being fair to both parties or not. I insist again: despite the fact that we all know that they are indicative values. Well, now I'm going with another suggestion about swaps:

I think that also, apart from the values, it should appear next to each coin, just as it does if you click on the coin in question, if you already have that coin or not. From my experience here, I see that many times and depending on the collector with whom you are trying to exchange, the swap can take a long time. And, during that time, there is often the circumstance that you have been obtaining coins that are included in that exchange. With this, what happens is that, logically, if you already have a coin/note that you had requested, you are no longer interested in it. Even if you mark it and include it in your collection, this is not reflected next to the coin in the swap. So, what happens, is that you have to go one by one, seeing if you now have it or not. And again, I think it would save a lot of time if this information was added next to each coin in the swap.

Well, that's it. I send a big hug to all of you and I look forward to your answers ;)

You can already filter out any coin you already own:

Hi Rsirian!

thank you for your comment!  but that´s not what I am saying in my suggestion.

Yes, you are right on the fact that u can choose what to see on other´s swaplist.

What I am saying is that, once you have a swap opened with someone, that green tick which tells you that that particular coin or banknote is owned by you, should also appear in the swap. This, because, as I say, some swaps take a loong time and, during that period, you can obtain coins which you had requested in that swap. You can update your collection and tick that coin, but it will not show up in the swap. So, if you don´t check again your swap, coin by coin, you can take the risk of finally demanding a coin that you already have.

I don´t know if I am explaining quite well.

Have a nice weekend!  ;)

I understand now.  If your collection changes between the time you choose the coins and the time you finalize it the initial filter is no longer useful.

Yes... this would be solved if that green tick appeared just next to the coin, so that u can see if you are still interested in that coin or not ;)

Thank u, Rsirian!  ;) 

Yes I think it sounds like a good idea and would make swapping a little less time consuming.  Bren

….also ii didn't know  that I could remove coins or notes hat i have from viewing swap lists. Makes sense….I will do that from now on. Thanks Bren

Em….how do I do that again??

Oh..I found it. Thanks

Ne pas oublier le temps passé entre l'acceptation d'un échange et la réception de ce qui nous manquait. Parfois plusieurs semaines.
