When looking at the breakdown of the various metals I have in my collection, the number of silver coins listed when looking in the 'Your coins' tab states 2,931, whereas, when I do a search in the 'Advanced search' link, it states 3,025.
Does anyone have any idea of why the difference? I can only think of silver plated, but could be wrong.
In the advanced search, typing in "Silver" in the metal section also shows me all of my billon coins. It seem if I remove one of my billon coins, my amount of silver coins in the "Your Coins" tab does not go down.
I removed one of my Somalia coins, (K#121), which is silver plated copper-nickel, and both of my total were reduced by 1, so this is not the reason for the difference.
No idea what to check next.

Coinman1, where do you see the number of silver coins from the 'Your Coins' tab? I only see the numbers for ten base metals plus 'Others", but not my silver or gold.
I think the quantity of silver coins you have are not enough to qualify it for individual listing in the table, so it is included in the 'other' section.
My gold coins are not listed separately, for the same reason.
Hope this helps.
As I only collect by type, I did not think this was the problem, but tried it anyway.
Made one of my listings into a quantity of 2, with the following results.
In 'Your coins' the number increase by 1
In 'advanced search' the number stayed the same.
Perhaps I should check every listing to ensure the quantity input is only 1 for each coin, but I cannot believe I would make that mistake 95 times
I have resolved a small part of this problem.
I do not keep my UK coins , that are in my collection, listed on Numista, but do list any swap coins I have to offer.
Found a few GB silver coins included in my exchange boxes are included in my 'silver search'.
But this does not answer the 95 difference.
Later update.
When through every one of the 152 pages that showed my silver coins and did have to change the quantity of a few coins from 2 to 1, so now, 'Your coins' state 2,923 whereas the advanced search still states 3,025.
Now at a total loss for this difference, but can no longer see any other factor to try.
