Bad link in guidelines: [Risolto]

Guidelines: Picture (obverse, reverse, and edge)

• If several coins share an identical face, do not reuse the same image for multiple coins. Photos should belong to that specific type.

The link in the quote is from the guidelines and doesn't currently display any coins.

In my case this link works: it open a new page with

• the “Search the coin catalog” page,
• issuer Switzerland (1848-date),
• series Swiss railways and
• 6 results found.

I identified the problem – my last search was for circulating coins only and that was preserved when the link was followed. The link should explicitly specify non-circulating coins to avoid this problem.

The link should explicitly specify non-circulating coins to avoid this problem.

+1

Or other parameter: not use the last search.

Maybe this occurs in other links…

Just fixed this link, thank you!

This issue was never marked solved so I rechecked and the link is broken again. The link goes to a series that doesn't exist.

Current failing link:

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=suisse&r=&ct=coin&im1=&im2=&tn=y&cat=y&ru=&ca=3&no=&v=&i=&b=&ie=&u=&a=&dg=&m=&f=&t=&w=&mt=&g=&se=Swiss+railways&d=&c=&wi=&sw=

Link that works:

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=suisse&r=&st=all&cat=y&im1=&im2=&ru=&ie=&ca=3&no=&v=&a=&dg=&i=&b=&m=&f=&t=&t2=&w=&mt=&u=&g=&se=6576&c=&wi=&sw=

It appears that the format for linking to a series has changed from text to a number. There might be other links to series that need to be fixed.

Thank you, it is now fixed.
