Looking for people to swap with

Hello,

Is there anyone interested in swapping coins with me? As of now, I don't have so many doubles yet, but I hope to increase that number.

I'm a bit frustrated with the large number of inactive members who never reply, but who didn't bother to check any of the "don't want to swap" boxes either. Therefore, I'd really appreciate it if people interested in some of my coins just got in touch with me.

I'm collecting circulating coins from all over the world, past and present. At the moment I'm particularly looking for the US quarter dollar 50 states commemorative coins, 2 Euro commemorative coins, and any other commemorative coins for particular cities/sites/buildings of the issuing country. But as I said, I'm collecting all circulating coins, so if you don't have any of the above mentioned, it doesn't necessarily mean I'm not interested.

If you're looking for a particular coin you can't find in my doubles but that you do find in my collection, you can let me know. I can make a note for myself to let you know once I come across that coin again so that we can swap if you still don't have that coin by then.

How to hear from a few interested people.

I get a lot of swap requests which I politely decline , but it’s ignorant and annoying)in my view when they don’t have the courtesy to reply.

Happy collecting and swapping on your journey.

MusicBoxDancer,

A couple of friendly advises on how to avoid some frustration - it's not a bullet-proof strategy but may help a bit:
1. Check how many of your coins the other collector may be interested in - for "common" coins I usually don't request a swap if this number is less than 50
2. Check another person's profile - what he/she is collecting and looking for
3. Check his/her feedback to see when that person swapped last time (there is a lot of "dormant" accounts)
4. Target people who are relatively new in Numista (let's arbitrarily say <2 years) and who actively swap
5. Get a sense of the shipping cost of your potential partner - for example here in Canada the shipment is so damn expensive that I don't swap regular coin outside of US/Canada

As I said it's not a "guarantied success recipe" but may help to some extent.

Hello MusicBoxDancer!

Take a look at my swaplist. If you find something that interests you, we can swap.
