Hello! I wanted today to add to the catalogue & share with all NUMISTA members 2 photos of an extremely rare banknote (pattern) which are not on the site. I couldn't do so because: when I opened the edit page of the item and clicked on CHOOSE A PHOTO only my phone's camera opens AND NOT ALSO THE GALLERY WHERE I HAVE STOCKED THOSE PHOTOS! Please,what shall I do in this case?!? Thanks!

Send your pictures to your computer then upload them from there.

Thanks but I am sorry to tell you that I don't have a computer or able to use one… All my internet activity is from my smartphone.

You can email them to me and I'll post them attributed to you if you want.

Yes,thank you,I am not against your kind offer to help me(and the NUMISTA catalogue as well)! 

But what is your e-mail adress?

Does this note need a new entry, or just a replacement of the photos of this entry:

N#209982

 

Never mind, made a new entry.

I tried it today I with my phone for the first time and I got a field where you select the app that should open with such requests. You probably chose your camera app instead of your data app or gallery so you have to look in your settings to reset the preference.

Yes,thank you,I know what you say but that doesn't work with the NUMISTA site! I also found in time web pages of other sites which open options(camera,gallery) for such type of actions. But not all: NUMISTA among those who open only the camera option.

So,if for my phone it works or not,depending on the site I acces,I don't think I have to change some settings(I never changed such settings,by the way ; I don't know even if there are such settings & were they are in the phone's menu).

Can you help me more? Because I have some other interesting items which are not in NUMISTA catalogue!

Friendly regards!

Post a screenshot at the point you're unable to choose the phone's gallery.  Perhaps we can see what the issue is.

On the EDIT PAGE of the item I want to add new photos,when I click the sensitive case CHOOSE  FILE,only the option of the camera appears,instead of the gallery as well.

This seems to me like a ‘Permissions Issue’. The browser app you are using needs to be given permission to access your stored picture gallery. 

 

Such Permissions are generally accessible in you phone's settings, or you might find it in your browser settings separate from your phone settings.

Hi,Hibernia! Thanks for your try to help,I checked all the browser's settings and found no such permission to allow there…

Plus,as I already said above,some sites which require such actions open camera + gallery options but other sites do not,only camera! With same settings! Among these last ones is also NUMISTA,unfortunately. I don't know what makes the difference between the 2 types of sites,ACTING IN THE SAME CONDITIONS!!!

What type of smartphone is it, and what OS version? 

And which browser are you using?

It is an Android REDMI XIAOMI of 128GB and the browser is that of the phone.

I had a look at this. It appears to be a widespread issue with the some OS versions.

 

One fix that people have used is to turn off MIUI optimization, which blocks certain permissions.

Thread on the issue here:

Explanation of MIUI optimization here:

It is recommended to re-enable it afterwards.

 

Note: When adding a picture, you need to select be sure to ‘New Picture’ button [this is not selected in the screen shot you posted].

Hibernia,thanks for your time and kind help BUT THE SAME HAPPENS EVEN IF I CHOOSE FIRST ‘’CHANGE PICTURE'' OR ‘’NEW PICTURE''.

Listing updated:

 

N#209982

 

hmmm, the obverse is small.

Hi,dear Lipstreamed! Yes,I also saw the official post,thanks for your work but why is the photo of one side so small? My photos were the same size for both sides. Now,very little can be seen,even enlarged. That can't be changed?!/

Adni…They both look fine. Same size.

 

I do have one question though.  I don't believe The Pick numbers P#75 and P#75p actually exist.  Were they added for this change?

p75 is correct, scwpm General 16th Ed, p 1038. I checked it just now.

75p is a proof

75s is a specimen

Yeah there was some glitch when the pic was uploaded.  I just re-submitted and SpuDy was quick to fix it.

Hello,rsirian1! NOW the pictures are of the same size,2 hours ago one of them was much more small.

OF COURSE,THE PICTURES REALY EXISTS,(I MADE THEM YESTERDAY) AS WELL THE BANKNOTE: IT IS THE ‘’JEWEL OF CROWN'' OF MY COLLECTION!!!

About 30 years ago I saw only one other piece at a very old collector who died in times past. Don'know now were his piece is! Different serial number than mine. Another piece I only saw in an encyclopedic romanian book. Also with another serial number.

All sorted. A nice note, and in decent grade. 😀

Romania is one of the few countries I collect beyond a general interest in banknotes.

Hibernia,I think it is in an XF-AU grade…

A nice example of a rare note. 

Were the other examples you saw in similar grade, or more heavily circulated?

Regardless of all that, (I make no judgement on the validity of your banknote or your reasoning) one cannot just go about making up Pick numbers that don't exist just because they think they should exist.  P#75 and P#75p should be removed from the Varieties lines (or have them added to SCWPM).  Only P#75s is a valid number.

 

I'm glad your picture fixed itself.

Dear Hibernia,the banknote is rarissime to ''unique'': Even the National Romanian Museum of History in Bucharest doesn't have this series of 4 pattern denominations: 10;50;200;2000 lei 1920 The most valuable and rare of all 4 is this of 2000 lei & with most beautiful design.

The numismatic collection of The Romanian Academy had all complete series of 4 but all those were ‘’lost'' during the comunist goverment in my country (1945-1989).

About the other 2 pieces I saw,the one in the book's photo seemed to be Unc. & the piece of the old collector even a bit better préservation than mine AU-UNC.

I check Bank Note Museum and PMG which only show P75s.  If those sites are wrong and the other 2 are really in SCWPM, I apologize for being out of date.

I fixed the picture.  The original listing already existed, so those variety lines already were there.  Looks like Hibernia checked SCWPM and they all check out.  Oops, I posted too slow.

Please see,you all,that the SC of WB gives a market value of 5000 usd for the punched specimen and mentions with no price the existance of a few known pieces ''in issued form''.
