Yuppy, we have a new donation from a member who wants to stay anonymous. So a part of this will be in the next contest (somewhere around 1st July).
Thank you again!
Do you collect Hungarian or Romanian coins and you have a smartphone (or tablet) running Android?
Well .. we just launched 2 applications to make things easier for you to :
– manage your coins trade list, wish list and personal collection
– view images and useful details for the coins inside the catalog (mint, material, mintage, weight, diameter, catalog prices and others)
– access the market price extra option to find out information about the real value of a coin (as you may know, the prices are depending on the current supply/demand, so we monitor the auctions houses and websites to calculate the market prices)
– do a fast search to find a particular coin you are interested in
– synchronize your app data between multiple devices (phone, tablet and computer)
If you live in Romania here are the translated versions :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.allnumis.coin_HUNGARY_RO_1
If you live outside Romania :

What do you think? Do you want applications like this for other countries?
Yesterday we tried to find an old road connecting 2 villages near Brasov but without so much luck, at least the scenery was beautiful and the weather was just perfect
The 3 coins are :

I’m a big fan of Richard Wagner’s music and I was pleased when I saw that the Bank of Germany will issue in 3 days a silver commemorative coin celebrating his birth bicentenary
More details about the coin: http://www.allnumis.com/coin/germany/10-euro-2013-richard-wagner039s-birth-bicentenary-28651
And .. don’t forget .. here is a piece of music by Wagner’s genius: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGU1P6lBW6Q (Richard Wagner – Ride Of The Valkyries)
While being a moderator on http://www.allnumis.com a lot of people asked me what are the different orientations of the coins so I thought .. why not explain it here too?
Basically there are 2 types :
1) Coin orientation : It is when you turn the coin on the X (horizontal) axis to the other side and the coin design is upside down.
2) Medal orientation : In this case, if you turn the coin on the horizontal axis to the other side the design is in the good position.
PS : On older coins you will see that they may be neither of medal, neither of coin orientation but to a certain degree (mostly random)
I worked in the last weeks on a small game that will help us all to know the REAL value of what we have in our collections. Useful, hah?
Well .. the game is really simple to play and I consider it also fun .. just give it a try :
(you need to be logged in but if you have Facebook .. it is just one click)

I managed to buy some nice coins for my OFEC collection and 2 x Austrian 20 Kreutzer coins pre-1800 (which I will post on the website in 2-3 days)
I just started a new collection .. one coin per every country in the whole world
Here is a list of all countries in the world .. I’ll update it once I get a coin for a specific country and classify it in my collection
