Website News

    The site had a major facelift in February 2003, with a majority of the images and some of the content upgraded. Major technical improvements were also made for slower dial-up users. Most pages now fit your browser without scrolling, and a header navigation bar allows surfing the entire site without moving your mouse.

Recent Additions:

Pages

Reverse Hubs/Two new Design pages, with closeups of all 4 reverse types.

Images

Most of the images throughout the reference portion of the site have been upgraded with large 300x300 pixel images of high-end coins from the same consistent camera source. All of the examples of MS64-67 have been replaced on the Grading pages, and they now include very large and revealing close-ups.

Blay Collection/Many new coins have been added to his Collection page and some existing images have been upgraded.
