I mean when you go to a coin, to see if you had it in the past.
For example i went to the 5 francs 1945 France, and i recall having it in the past, but i'm not sure. So a marker would've been useful.
I see what you mean, but in the future you can just consult your collection history and see if you had the coin in the past, but removed it previously, no?
The only difference having a marker like this would make seems to be not having to search through all of the history to find a type you are not sure if you had in the past.
What a great idea. I wouldn't have any practical use for it but it would be nice to have a way to track all the different coins which have passed through my hands and into the collections of my friends.
Actually having had a second or two to think about it I do see a practical use. I've just found a small lot of Cambodian silver coins from the 1800s in a junk store. They are uniface with a very simple pictorial design so not easy to identify. Luckily I recalled finding one and swapping it in the past so I was able to work it out but if I hadn't also remembered who I traded it with I'd be looking through 300 swaps. As it's the only type I've ever seen it would be clear at a glance.
Non illegitimis carborundum est. Excellent advice for all coins.

Cita: "CassTaylor"We already have records of when you remove a coin in your collection's history:
Unless you are talking about something else?
Where is that located at? I've never seen that.
You can find it between the graph and the Export section in the My Coins tab:
I also agree to some extent. Sometimes you swap away the coin, which was actually intended for someone else in a parallel swap. With such see-back-function you could remember more easier to whom you gave the mintage/type of this coin in the very last swap away, but would need to be added per mintage year/type to be more exact.

PS: I could say that admins will probably reply with, "you better promote your organizational swap skills".
Hello, I have a collection of approximately 3800 coins and already spotted that I cannot find a dozen of coins that are marked on Numista as owning, with price I've paid for it, dates they were added and etc, I mean those are coins that were lost/I had them in the past...I mean we can use this checkbox "had previously" also to set a coin as lost
