Digital Coin Album

Is PCGS really the only place that has any kind of digital coin album?

I just want a website where I can upload my collection with pictures, so I can review it, share it, and let people review for swap or buying.

I can't believe that nothing existing to public display my pictures of my raw coins. PCGS won't allow public sharing of non-graded coins.

I have 589 pictures total in five albums on the free 'my coins site' created
in 2012 by a Numista member ...

Maybe something like that is what you are looking for.

ucoin.net allows to do it if I remember correctly

It does and thanks you for the recommendation. I wish there were a good place to upload my collection and my pictures. I have a hard time believing that no one wants to display their coins digitally to the public or even select people.

You could use any of the countless image hosting sites/services or put-up/rent a server and upload your collection there for the whole world to see ... many possibilities.

That is where I am headed. I just can't believe that solutions do not exist. I want the backbone of a great catalog like Numista, so I can sort and categorize and such easily. If I have my own site I have to create a backbone to just display one coin type or silver coins or a certain country. I want the backend in place, so I can just input my coins (like here) and just add pictures, so I can see what they are while I view the different countries etc. And I would like to see the quality of coins I'm picking in a swap up front.

You won't find this feature on sites without payment plan, if our site would have to house even just a fraction of the collections registered and the pictures will be accessed regularly the server costs could end up in the mid 5 digits range.

I understand and I am fine to make it a premium service.

To avoid that issue I have previously suggested that we add a place for a link to my own hosted picture, so you don't have the bandwidth or storage concerns.

Currently, I place the link in the comments, but you can't click on a link in the comments. You can't even copy the link from certain views like the swap list when you pick coins as the comment comes up in a bubble where you can't select text, but you can copy it from the swap monitor.

Who is the correct person to discuss that with on here?

​Probably Xavier or Jarek.

Related; to add my two centesimi on the topic, I think it would be great if each coin page had a "gallery" where people could upload their examples of coins, so we can see more examples and varieties of each type than just the cropped one used at the top.

I know that's not what OP is asking for but I thought this thread is as good a place as any to bring it up.

It will surely add a lot of value to this site to add ~500 pieces of 1 eurocent in mostly smartphone quality.
