After browsing different posts here on Numista, I have learned that quite a few people collect more than just coins. The program I am writing not only will allow you to catalog your coins, but it will create an Excel list that you can use to upload to your coin list here. Also there will be a paper money and stamp catalog and inventory areas. Eventually I will add further categories to those interested. I should have a working copy of the software within a month.

It will be free to any Numista members!!!

It's still in the development phase. I am hashing out a lot of code and it should work on a Mac once it's all said and done.

Interested to see what you are working on.

No longer in business since 2015. May consider swaps on rare occasions. Mostly use the profile to catalogue my personal collection.

I would be very interested if it works in either linux or mac OSX 10.5.8 (ppc) also looking for an android app like "Collector's Eye" that doesn't suggest New Zealand as a country of origin when the coin is Yugoslavian.

I would really prefer to wait and play with it to suggest.

BUT, one thing that would be UNIQUE, would be to have the title fields editable. I do realize that the key field can not be, but having the rest would be nice since there are many different languages and grading systems.

I would be very interested in purchasing this software, but it would have to be able to export all the data of Numista, into it, ie the entire database, indicate the degree of rarity in Numista field to put values Krauser, observations, and a few more at least 3 fields editable. If you want to launch a version in Portuguese language'm the disposal, at least to the instruction manual.

I am interested to see what you'll get. I have also a software created by me and now I'm working on an improved version. Maybe we can share some ideas.

Here are two screenshots (with and without descriptions) of the main interface.

Sounds great for a sketch, is perfect. He will be able to import excel files to certain fields within it? If you want some help for translation in Portuguese or images of coins from Brazil, and I am available variants. I just can not help in programming because it did not understand anything!!

Very interested. Especially if it can tell me how many coins and types I have for each country as an additional feature.

Would we be able to connect it to a price guide?

This is available in statistics & reports and also in a visible mode it is done with interactive map.

Maybe not as a standard program but the plugin interface of the application make this task possible.

Hello friend;
Recently I got some more programs on the internet to register coins, including some editable, do not know if these development programs could help in some function or something, but I'm willing to share with a friend if you want.

The main part of the application is already finished but unfortunately I'm very busy at my work and I can work on the software just few hours every day. I'll post tonight a link with a video demonstration to see how it works until now.

I watched the video. The program looks very interesting. If you need a beta tester, I have a dual boot Intel core i5 <quad core> with 12 GiGs DDR3 ram [Linux- Ubuntu & Windows 7] plus I have this old but reliable eMac - ppc.

I was thinking that everyone has preferences so I made all those fields customizable. So you can put what name you like for the field Epoch.

Give my part really appreciate your commitment and dedication, as before, and if you need anything just ask. If you want to add the language in Portuguese, I am available, images of coins, etc..

Hugs and thank you for your dedication to all!

I'm looking for someone to help me to improve a web gallery (that I created, but it doesn't look very good) or to develop another one that looks better than mine. I started to use jQuery just few days ago an seems to pretty easy so I think for someone who already know jQuery for a long time ago shouldn't be a hard task. I know that are many template galleries already created all around the internet but I'm not very good with all those from many reasons.
