When I enter coins I always enter the number for the doubles, so that I now have a total of 1883 coins in LastDodo, in reality there are 3453.
With some collectors I see that they all enter the doubles separately: eg 8x the same, so their number is higher.
I ask myself why? Isn't there a mandatory rule for entering?
It's not that important to me, but it caught my eye, hence this question.

euroverzamelaar there is a small difference, as far as I understand the catalog only shows 1 x the item, When an item is entered separately, the collectors counter goes up by e.g. 1 ( eg 8x) 8 pieces can be identical, or have a difference. Is this interesting for the catalog? It is possible, and often important.
However, if they are identical copies (in everything), that makes no sense, but for your own collection you can enter that directly as 1 cat. item but 8 copies > eg. 1 collector. (catalog doesn't show that, but your own collection does).
So catalog count in the collection (outside count = existing cat.item) is shown in profile and collection links. It doesn't tell me how many I actually have (in collection pieces).
I assume that if a backup or printout is made, this will be included.

Whether this has anything to do with knowledge, I leave in the middle.
I hope that people agree a little with the (albeit my impression) explanation. Am I wrong, then apologies or correction please.

Okay clear. The printout does indeed state the number.

If you offer several identical items for sale in the same condition, you indicate this by means of the number (stock). However, it may be that the same item and condition have a small difference, then these items are offered in multiple "ads".
Please note that the latter has consequences for the value of your shop, as stated in the FAQ:
How is the value of the shop calculated?
That is based on the total value of the items in the shop. We do not take into account the "stock" (if several copies of an item are offered, then the extra items do not count).

The advantage of using a Stock (for identical items) is the convenience if you have sold a copy; the "ad" will then simply remain (with a lower number).

I don't have a shop, I don't plan to yet, but you never know what the future will bring.
Still, thanks for explaining this.

The number of items in your collection shown on the left does match the actual number in your collection.
Even if you also enter all your doubles.
If you remove a double from your collection, the counter on the left goes down by 1 piece.
Catalog and Collection function separately from each other, right?
Doubles from my collection regularly go to me.
Items in the same condition.
And my counter keeps dropping in that case.

The number of items in your collection that is on the left does correspond to the actual number in your collection.....
Corresponds to the number of identical coins, but if, for example, see my collection:
2x Algeria 5 centimes 1970 (22 mm) "FAO" (Pr) is then this is only counted for 1 on the left. In the export it says 2x.
If I change the 2x to eg 1x, the number of links remains the same. I just tested it.
If I had entered it 2x separately, the coin would be 2x next to each other in my collection.
If I remove 1, the counter on the left will indeed go down 1.
I think I created a misunderstanding with my message.

Just choose how you want to display it in your collection.
Everyone's thing.
I always enter everything, so also my doubles in the same state.
If you look in your collection via gallery, you will 'effectively' see your duplicates. Because they are grouped together.

...........................
Completely correct, so it doesn't matter how you enter them.
My question has been answered, thank you.

buizer indeed there is a difference between that cat and collection. With separate/individual entry of an item (so 2x the counter (+ and - ) works. If you do a 'sum' in numbers in collection, then not (publicly). Individual again yes. And no euroverzamelaar you have not created a misunderstanding.
Great question.
