Hello,
I have just noticed that for some reason when browsing for coins I can no longer see standard catalog numbers (KM#, Schön# etc,) but only Numista's own private numbers (N#). I know the search by KM# still works, but it still looks like a very unfortunate user interface change. With all due respect for Numista private numbers, a coin entry shown with no standard catalog numbers feels incomplete and harder to use. 
I hope you reconsider and revert this recent change.
Thank you!

I fully agree that they need to be returned. 

 

At least they shall be visible in case of search by an exact catalogue like KM with an asterix because an aim of such search is to see KM numbers

My personal list of scammers from Numista: erniemix, yvain, CassTaylor

It's because of the new reference numbers on year lines change. I'm sure it will be fixed. It was already reported here:  https://en.numista.com/forum/topic149970.html#p1183370

It's really annoying not to see KM numbers anymore and having to open the individual page of every coin to be able to see the KM number.

I really think they should be visible next to the N number (which is useless to me, at least while KM still exists). I began collecting coins well before Numista existed and the KM is a well stablished reference used widely. Creating new references is legitimate but it will be very difficult for them to be stablished as standard reference, because like or not, that is the KM number.

 

Please, bring KM numbers back to the main country pages.

Did you not read the post just before yours?

Hello,
We made a modification and the numbers are being re-computed. They will be back soon.

Well, if it's not a deliberate change, but rather a side effect that will be fixed, then it's great news!
Thank you.
