Where is that coin suggestion form? I want to add my 2012 Presidential dollars!

A couple other suggestions I thought about:

1. For the MS, PF, CF designations why not have it just pull what grade the user assigns and leave it blank if they don't provide one? Maybe keep the CF and PF designations but I think it is confusing or misleading seeing that MS up there if a coin is from circulation.

2. If you are browsing collections or specimens without being logged in you should either hide the options button or force a login or registration if clicked. Right now it goes to the popup options window but with no options because you're not logged in.

Just my thoughts to increase the user experience. Love the progress you've been making and enjoy browsing daily. Hopefully more of the community will give it a try and we can see more amazing coins in the near future.

The coin suggestion form will be up soon. I'm trying my best to distill the admin interface (which is a horrible mess with a learning curve like a brick wall) into something that's user friendly. It'll tie directly into the database so you can double check to see if what you're trying to add already exists as you go, and even if a suggested coin isn't approved for the general database you'll still be able to use it for your own collections unhindered. :-)

I'll see about making the designations a bit more obvious, or taking out the MS by default.

And I've made the OptionsĀ» button link to the login if you're not logged in, and I've also moved the likes and comments indicators somewhere easier to see.

More coming. :-)

Awesome sounds impressive!

Also I noticed while browsing the showcase some collections show x of y for the specimens collected where x is greater than y which doesn't make sense. I assume x is being derived from the quantities listed for each specimen in the collection while the y is being derived from the sum of specimens and place holders. Perhaps x should be derived from distinct specimens instead of listed quantities. That way x would never be greater than y.

Not sure if that would affect other areas that list only the quantity of specimens in the collection such as when viewing a list of collections from someone's profile or your own collections page.

There should be a return to top link when viewing collections, maybe every five rows or so. It's a real hassle when viewing on a tablet or phone when the collection has a bunch of coins.
