Uploading coin information [solved]

Hi, I'm new here and I wonder if there is an option to upload my collection, doubles and wishlist. Otherwise I have to enter over 10.000 coins and I don't have the time to do that. Please advise.
Sadly not, only one thing that could help you - upon opening some country, go to display options and click on fast input. You can also modify your view so it would match your own records elsewhere, so you can add them quickly.

Thanks, I'll consider this option.
Many here have entered far more than you have. I always looked at it as part of the fun...

I used to sit down and add a few hundred at a time. Once you get going it is quite quick if you already have a list of your coins on a spreadsheet.

Before you know it you will have them all done and it is very much worth it in the end. Don't forget to add your doubles for SWAPS :)

Hello,
Old post I know, but is there any update? ​Seeing as there is an "export" for my collection, is it not yet possible to import a collection using the same CSV format?
Thanks.
Dan.
I would appreciate the same thing for my 15.000+ doubles!

Indeed, not looking forward to adding all my collection into a computer again after adding them all to excel already!
As a new Numista user, I have the same question. Could a Numista moderator provide a rationale why "export to .csv" is available but not "import from Excel or .csv"? It is a logical extension to Numista's overall utility.

I think once the required fields are standardized (eg catalog number, date, mint, grade, notes) it would potentially create a much larger coin population for the Numista community to peruse, share, swap, etc. There may be myriad reasons why add an "import" feature is not feasible. Just curious why.

Hi,

the feature should be programmed like this to suit my needs:
1. Delete all my existing doubles first and then
2. Import all the doubles from my list

I still see a problem though, since I can have several lines for the same type, year, mint, grade and variants on top of that! It's not that easy to take all that into account. Anyway I would loose information as, where the coin is, when it went into my list etc.

If you know each and evey year line ID there might be chance for you too import but I'd rather put in 10000 coins into the new system than to make a csv with that format.
My decision is just to keep my 15000 doubles in excel! I still manage to find quite a few numista swappers accepting that way to swap....
