☻♥ Happy Birthday to Numista !!

"Created in March 2007"

So March 2012 is the five-year anniversary of the site.  

Took my collection to a different level! Thanks Numista!

 I know that Numista was not the original name, so technically the birthday would be 28-01-13 next year.

Whatever the date, I agree with the sentiments in the quick reply of  @josephjk

Numista should commission a commemorative coin to mark this landmark age?

 Maybe the member  redsmithstudios  can make one (though a coin may be too small compared to his usual creations) - he has made some brilliant things in copper.

he does make great stuff  

My birthday is on March 11th although I'm a bit older.

If anyone's wondering... I'd like a St Gaudens and a 6 pack of Peroni.

 If I pay £2.49 plus postage I could get (a copy of) your first item for you ...

  It is post to UK only i.e. sent to me; then I post to you (along with normal coins in a swap maybe), and you could use it as a gap filler - until you purchase the real thing ...

Yes, me too! Took my collection to a different level! Thanks Numista!

Zac, Thanks for the kind words.
I have actually thought about making some little coins, just for fun. What should be on a coin of Numistas birthday?

maybe some thing like this???  

I think the design should reflect the international community of Numista and the virtues this site encourage like cooperation and friendship among those who may be different but share a common hobby.

Yeah good call, alastair, I was thinking the same thing. Something that relates to world coinage and sharing and swapping across the globe.

"swapping across the globe"
 I like that, what should be the picture?

Hands around the globe in a circle similar to 1973 50 pence from UK with coins in between the hands.

This is what I'm thinking,

Since every time we go on Numista and we're going to see that header, I'm thinking it should stay the same but be renewed. Honestly, I've always liked the design on the top, but if the coins looked more realistic, it would look even better.

Sounds good to me, but we still need a design for the other side, I also think we need to mention Numista and its birthday in the legend.

  As other members had a recent thing for bringing back old Topics, here is one I started last year.
So this month is the six-year anniversary of when Numista started.  



P.S. That image is a GIF and when clicked on is an animation.  

Maybe you could just simply commemorate Numista's birthday + amount of years and actual amount of members on that day on the rev of the coin

The Stuttgart mint of Germany mints medals for private customers, altough I'm pretty sure there must be a minimum of ordered medals + its probably super expensive.

Maybe for the 10th anniversary, it'd be worth it. Hopefully the *Tokens* section will still be around for it...

  Happy Birthday Numista !

Cheers to all the contributors!!

After my 1st Initial Delve with Numista I find the Community Mostly very Helpful and am very Grateful for the help members have given me my knowledge is with English Coinage this I know on a Armature Level over 60 Years and I collect coins and related Items that I like not for there Value but for there Art and Interest but over the Years my Collections Value has grown considerably but as I will never sell it my Children and grandchildren will have a good time at my Expense I hope Thank you Numista for giving me an incite to other world of Coins and Bank Notes and think sharing Knowledge is a very good though sometimes I do get it Wrong.
This is my other Passion I only have 4 now and I don't ride them in the winter anymore as the Car has heated Seats.

Happy 14th Birthday Numista! Just 10 days away to my first year here.

I personally have found Numista to be a god send and thanks to this website I have finally been able to fully catalogue my collection and keep track of it. Not only that, it has made swapping so easy and about as safe as I could wish for with the rating system. I must also admit how impressed I am with all the functionality and the constant improvements since I started using it in late 2013. I am grateful to Xavier and all the other members who have given their time for a greater public good. And even more impressive how much patience they have in putting up with often ugly and non-constructive comments as people have come and gone. I hope Numista will keep marching into the future as strongly as it has for the last 14yrs!
