Coin store

[hercy888]

Hi there, I would welcome any comments on the lay out of my store or anything to make it easier to browse.

Your store looks great but I noticed that you haven't mentioned GB anywhere in your titles or description. I would think that buyers would be searching for GB rather than 50p, 20p etc. Just my opinion (I may be wrong)

I'm not very familiar with foreign currency. If any of your coins contain gold or silver would be helpful to cross reference them as such & include percentage in description or title.

I am thinking of bring my Silver Proof listings of UK coins onto Ebid. Has anybody else had a good uptake on the higher spec/quality coins?

At present i just have mainly UK Brilliant Uncirculated coins. Slowly but surely the sales are coming.

I am also ignorant about anything other than U.S. coins, but I feel you have a very good lay-out and descriptions of your coins. As mentioned above, I would be sure to make note of any silver or gold content, if any. The only suggestion I might make is to crop your coins closer to the rims so as to make the coin itself as large as possible. EBid now allows 600 X 600 pixel pics. As for the proof sets, I would list them. Who knows what people want? Besides, it won't cost you anything to list. Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback poppa. Greatly appreciated. 600x600 good to know.

Will try to lauch a new catagory tonight and get some silver proofs and piedforts listed.

Yours in coins.

Hercy.

Another question please?

How do coin collectors outside the uk search for coins from the uk? What i mean is what would you type into a search engine if you were trying to find uk coins?

Curious too know, so i can get my titles right.

Thanks for your time.

British coins, Great Britain +coins, BPS, pounds sterling, pence, two pence, 50p, 20p,...............at least those are some I (US ex-pat) would do for UK coinage...........................

Perhaps foreign gold/silver bullion coins or proof sets. Could also include percent of gold/silver content in title & condition, ie, Proof, BU, AU, etc.

Thank you for all your comments i have now listed some with uk and gb in the title to hopefully pick up the google hits.

I have also finally managed to get some silver proofs and piedforts listed. I have not detailled the full speficiation of the coin but hope the 2nd photgraph of the Royal Mint Certificate of Authenticity will provide all the required information.
