All a member has to do is go to their Profile page,
and the number is among the link at the top of the page. Then write it
down or memorize it to change in one of those two links above.
Yes, but as Geison says

Indeed, but there is no easy intuitive way to do that.
I mean, I had to answer that question for collectors many times, “how do I share my collection”, and there is no simple answer.
Keeping in mind that not everyone is familiar with how web works.
If the user is using a big device (PC, laptop), the process is not easy or quick, and requires knowledge (access to profile URL in the browser, copy the number, know the URL of the collection, paste the number to the URL of the collection, paste the URL of the collection in the browser)
If the user is using a small device (smartphone), accessing the URL is more difficult.
Yes, I know it's possible and I know how to do it, problem is explaining to someone else, especially without images.Even harder if the person isn’t familiar with technology.
I'm just suggesting a simpler way as an improvement. A share button or something
Help me understand. What happens when you hit the share button? Does a box open up where you add the person's email address and then your link is emailed to that person?
Paste it in email to person you want to share with:
That's it.
Yes, we know how to copy a link under a text 🙂 but not all users know how to do it, or do not think to do it, so… why not make it easier?

Copy? All they have to know is how to click the link. You were talking about adding a new link that's exactly the same as the link that's already there. I was just showing you that the existing link is the link you want to add: https://en.numista.com/vous/vos_pieces.php?user=xxxx
What does the person you want to share with receive? A PDF of your entire collection? A link to Numista? Pictures? Excel file? Not trying to be difficult but I don't understand what you are actually trying to share. I don't think anyone needs a tutorial to copy their link and email it to somebody.

Not being difficult, but I am sure this is a problem because I've been asked about that several times, then I am sure it is a thing that can be improved.
Real story:
At a coin convention, two friends meet:
– Hi Paul, what are you looking for? – Hey Ris, I’m looking for coins from issuers I don’t have yet. See if there's anything in my collection that you have and I don't. Or just take a look if you want to admire my beautiful collection. – Sure, what’s your username? – No idea, a friend created my account. I’ll just click here “My account”, then “My collection”… okay, now I copied the link, here it is: https://en.numista.com/vous/index.php – Thanks, I’ll check it out when I get home.
Guess what? The link he gave won’t work. We need a fix.
– Sure, what’s your username? – No idea, a friend created my account. I’ll just click here “My account”, then “My collection”… okay, now I copied the link, here it is: https://en.numista.com/vous/index.php
If you click on this link you get your username, the linkt to your profile page that you can share and on that profile page anyone can click on your (public) collection. I have no idea what more is needed …😣
Just call me Bram
No new swaps for the moment, still too many half-ongoing swaps to clean up!
– Sure, what’s your username? – No idea, a friend created my account. I’ll just click here “My account”, then “My collection”… okay, now I copied the link, here it is: https://en.numista.com/vous/index.php
If you click on this link you get your username, the linkt to your profile page that you can share and on that profile page anyone can click on your (public) collection. I have no idea what more is needed …😣
Intuitivelly, people click “My collection” to share, and not going to “profile” and then search the links.
That is.
You know how to, of course, but lots of people don't, I have a group of 250 collectors, and this question is asked often. So, it is a thing.
