  1. Hi Eugene. Sent you a PM. The editor currently lets you change anything in anyone's listing (except the images) and this helps in fixing possible mistakes you find anywhere. Images are a special class. I'll add the ability for a user to delete their own images or entries (but nobody else's) at some point and will report when ready. Thanks for the suggestions and hard work. Keep them both coming :-)
  2. Well spotted Bob. Could be! Most (13) of the images I have of the 1853BM don't show this, but 2 of them (Kuenker and WAG from 2009) do have a similar possible overdate. Kuenker WAG
  3. Getting rid of negative energy is definitely a good thing! Well done! You've made a very nice resource in a short amount of time. I like just flipping through the pages and seeing new things. Real coins I know. These are something new. In terms of functionality I want a better way to get to coins with new comments. Will report here when ready.
  4. Here are an 1851BM and 1853BM that were posted recently at rnumis http://www.rnumis.com/dev/rnumis_research_0.php?db_pgtyp=db_pgtyp_rf_single&rf_id=200 http://www.rnumis.co...ingle&rf_id=201

  7. Is this how you get your coins, Josh? Sounds fishy.
  8. russian coins fakes database At Ex's suggestion, I added a new sort field. You can now choose either Coin Date (Ascending) [default] or Last Changed (Descending). The second option means you can easily see the latest entries/changes.
  9. 15 Roubles denomination added 37 1/2 Roubles denomination added after user upload of new coins today: 1897 15 Roubles http://www.rnumis.co...ingle&rf_id=313 1902 37 1/2 Roubles http://www.rnumis.co...ingle&rf_id=316
  10. They were cheaper in Russia but still illegal to export. I guess the seller didn't want any 'problems'
  11. Back in the day "a guy I used to know" bought a coin from Russia on ebay. Not expensive. A couple of weeks later, a thick package arrived. A book about Pushkin, in Russian. What the heck?! No note of explanation. Just a book. On shaking the book nothing fell out. Feeling a bit duped he looked through the book anyway as there were pictures. One of the pages felt a little 'different'. On looking more carefully he was surprised to find two pages carefully glued together, the coin nestled between them. This wasn't a wire kopeck or anything tiny like that and it was amazing that the book just seemed to absorb the volume of the coin. You could never tell it was there. Cloak-and-dagger stuff!
  12. I like the second one much better
  13. Candidate's Archive of Fake Images I have successfully downloaded and opened the archive Candidate kindly supplied, and so has extant4cell. It has 20 folders. The status of uploads to rnumis will be shown in this thread to help reduce duplication. What I've done so far: DIR 10 ("5-1850 платина") - Done DIR 12 ("50-1898") - Done DIR 19 ("Фальшаки") - Done DIR 20 ("ФУФЕЛА") - Done
  14. Logins No login is required to view any of the coins or to add comments. If you would like to upload images or to be able to edit existing entries you will need a login. Send me a PM or email at rnumis and I will set one up for you.
  15. This is a status thread for users of the russian coins fakes database at rnumis. It is primarily to announce periodic updates to functionality and for users to note progress on shared work. Brief feature requests or noted problems can also be posted here or sent to me in a PM. The initial motivation for the database & interface - and its advantages and shortcomings compared to other approaches - have been discussed at length in an earlier thread. I would kindly ask that such heated debates not happen here. I for one will not take part in them. Thanks everyone! Steve
  16. Yet more 'ronsense'. I don't know where this stuff keeps coming from. For the record, I don't sell auction pdfs. Never have. And I'm not selling jrns pdfs either. The RNS used to sell them through the RNS website that I built, paid for, and ran. It's possible they may want to do so again at some point.
  17. I hesitate to post this as I suspect I'm wasting my time...however: The rnumis fakes interface wasn't supposed to compete, replace or recreate anything but was built to showcase an alternative (and in my view more user friendly) collaborative environment. A "minimal forgery system" that you said would take months/years to build, but which actually only took a few days. I've no real interest in 'danger levels', Brekke numbers, or even fakes for that matter. If people already find rnumis useful, and Ex and gx apparently do, then OK. If the rnumis fakes interface evolves because of user demand (and at the moment this is really just a minor side project for me), and if I choose to add more than just the basic filtering and sorting already there, then so be it. I'd say that if you are dead-set on your interface (and I do believe that's the case) then you have an uphill battle, as you already know. If you want to choose a better route then I'm willing to help. You likely have good data and ideas wrapped in archaic technology. To paraphrase your own quotes...it's all a terrible waste...and it may as well all be on Mars. That's all folks
  18. Ex...this is what I've done with the candidate rar. DIR 10 ("5-1850 платина") - Done DIR 12 ("50-1898") - Done DIR 19 ("Фальшаки") - Done DIR 20 ("ФУФЕЛА") - Done We're up to about 174 fakes now. I added a few more denominations and a couple of other cosmetic improvements. Edges to follow.
  19. *Finally* tracked down what you're talking about. http://russian-coin-...-is-a-wiki-site Not my text...that's a wikidot standard page that comes with their sites, though I guess there's no way to tell that. Oh well. Anyway...that wiki is no longer maintained. I will be releasing a 2,500+ auction database on rnumis at some point.
  20. I agree with this. I like the comparison to the original and edges are helpful. No idea what you're talking about. Download means download. For those who wanted a paper copy they could get that, but most sales were, as I said, PDF downloads.
