PCGS online Photograde and a senior moment

BobSav

I posted this on the Q&A forum but got no results so I thought I'd try here.
Please humor this old man. Is there a way to display both the obverse and reverse PCGS photograde images on screen at the same time ?
Thanks

From one old man to another ... good luck.

if you are referring to the on line resources for grading by PCGS ... it is not easy to do. At least in Windows ( can not speak for Apple). In fact, using my web browser when you select a obverse grade image and wish to look at the reverse using their page next arrow key - it takes you to the next obverse grade - not to the reverse of the same piece / grade.

The one thing I can do on my windows PC ... open 2 separate web browsers and then using windows size the image to fit half the screen and put the 2 views side my side .. then navigate to the site and piece you wish to look at and click away - one for obverse view and one for reverse view. Each time you wish to look at a different piece you have to navigate both web browsers which is a pain but results maybe what you are looking for . Below is a screen shot of 2 web browsers open with an one showing an obv. and the other a rev. photograde image.

Good luck

Ok good I thought I was going crazy. I couldn't believe that you can't flip between obverse and reverse or see both images at the same time, I did try your method but it seemed like a clumsy way to utilize their website.
Thanks for the help.

As an old guy ... I was doing nothing this afternoon and I was just thinking , and there is an easier way.

Pick the image and then "right click" on mouse - in menu select "open link in new window", bingo it is open in a new window.

Then pick the second image and again right click on mouse and again select "open link in new window" from menu and then you have a second window open with that image... just size and move them so you can view side by side. still not idea but it is a bit easier.

They appear like this in the iPad CoinFacts app, and you can pinch to zoom in.

That is similar to the way it appears on my laptop screen and just using the website (no app). Also similar enlargement.
