Quote: "KrakenTheJaken"​I'm the my coins page they should add a thinnest/Fatest coin on the topics.

Thicknesses in Numista are typically not Mint supplied values and much too dependent of user, their technique and equipment. I consider them basically useless (especially when measured on non high MS condition).  

I am agree that the measures are not exact (I myself use a ruler, precision ±1 mm, for diameters and thickness when I create a new page of object: I have nothing better). But… if the reason for refusing show the thickness here is its probable low accuracy, same reason can be used to not show the diameters or weights.🤔

The low value will not be many accurate/useful, sure (there are many thickness of 1 mm or 0.5 mm), but the high value will be more.

+/- 1mm? I think you just supported my case.

Also, at least for modern coins, official diameters and weights are usually well known and not dependent on member measurements.

Yes… for modern coins.

I was thinking about tokens or medals.

Many thin coins don't even have their thickness recorded. They are so thin that the measurement isn't much meaningful.

See for example: N#368064

Therefore I believe there is no point in showing a record for the thinnest coin in your collection.

That's a cool idea. I love seeing statistics of my coins so really any addition to that section is good to me

What is a “fatest” coin?

Do you mean fattest?

Look at the underlined text from your post in https://en.numista.com/forum/topic154519.html#p1212115:

"My parents surprisingly were the same and felt that collecting coins was a waste of time, I mainly found that out as I was finding a wife or long term career quick enough. I collected everything, coins, stamps, Mad Magazines, comics, Garfield, music by artists they considered effeminate or gay (Prince, Michael Jackson). etc and they though all this reading and collecting made me soft and effeminate (My parents were real working class, rural Tarzan/Jane types). But by the time I was 16, I was earning my own money for spending and they had to back off."

Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone

That was a typo, missing an R.

I meant youthful members who deliberately spell words wrong and use lower case txt speak.

But thanks for being a pedantic Pauline with nothing better to do.

Wild drama over typos here.

Some guy says “Says who?” Instead of “Says whom?”  and he will get murdered over it XD

That's cute, calling me a pedantic Pauline while all you do here is whine, complain and accuse.
