Collection value. [Risolto]

Sorry, I am not sure where to post this and I am not looking for a modification to the catalog but I was unsure about where to post this. This question relates to the how Numista calculates coin and collection values. Can someone explain how my personal Numista collection's estimated value has suddenly increased by approximately 35% versus about 3 months ago? I am flattered but something does not seem right. Thanks in advance.

It happens because the internal Numista values are stored in euros. For example, if your currency is in USD, you put your values as $1,000 in total. Numista records it as, let's say 910 euros. The next month the exchange rate USD/EUR changes, and now the same 910 euros are worth $1,050, for example. Even though you did not add any new coins, the value will always change. It will not change only if your preferred currency is EUR.

However, I am not sure why it increased by 35% (I presume your preferred currency is USD). Mine did not increase that much in 3 months.

I hope that helps.

Thanks for your response. Yes, exchange rates would be only a small percentage of this dramatic increase. There must be either a valid explanation or possibly a problem with the way Numista is calculating values recently. 35 % is quite significant and it makes no sense to me.  It does not matter what my collection is valued at really, the question was really directed at the Numista gods to see if their was a problem on the Numista side.

Thanks. I Don't want to bother Xavier directly as he has enough to do but I will post this in the proper forum as you suggested to inquire about a possible bug.
