Hi there.. :) I think the button 'Your coins ' should be changed with 'My coins'
It seems odd when I browse Numista and want to see my collection I have to click on 'Your coins ' button
I believe many Numista members will agree with me.. ..

I think I mentioned this in 2013..and in 2014...and in 2015...yeah, it's obviously not a priority to personalise your Numista page... ``-

I wasn't too serious making that statement. I was merely suggesting a totally neutral option. I'm a bit surprised though that only Your Coins menu option is being discussed ... for the 4th time as far as I can remember. What about Your Swap List and Your Wishes?

​Depends on if they like the idea or not or not. Sometimes 1 is enough, and sometimes 25 is too few... T.T

​this is a huge victory for me..i've been fighting for this for at least 4 years..finally! :O
Personally, I liked it better as "your coins". In my mind, as I read text on a website, I imagine that the page is talking to me as if it were another person. When Numista tells me about "your coins", it means coins that belong to Cerulean (myself). When Numista talks about "my coins", I think it means coins that belong to Numista.

However, I looked at other collector communities I belong to, to see what patterns the Internet obeys on this matter.

BoardGameGeek lets you manage a "collection", with no attached possesive. However, all content related to your account is accessed through a tab labeled "My Geek".

Discogs just gives you "collection" and "dashboard" as well, but does report on "my activity".

LibraryThing is very direct at referring to "your books", "your recommendations" "you and one other", etc.

Blu-Ray.com's app uses "My movies".

...three against one, eh. I guess I'm in the minority camp here.

EDIT: When it comes time to push buttons for I Have This Thing in both BoardGameGeek and Discogs, they both allow me to "add to your collection" or "edit your collection". Mixed my/your signals from them after all.
