Heritage archives search is not complete

DesertLizard

Anyone notice that some searches do not turn up 100% of items seached for? For example, you do a search for a 1916-D 10c MS65 and 2-3 known sales do not appear.

Or you do a search for a 1909 25c MS65 and it show no results.

What's going on? I am aware of periodic down times of the database but this is over the course of the last 2 weeks. Also any search with the condition of PCGS does not work.

Yes I know what you mean.
If you want to see a 1909 25¢ in MS65 you have to select barber quarters in the pulldown and search for 1909 then they show up.

I had some strange problems with the Heritage search last time I used it also. Things I knew were there wouldn't come up with a search. What seemed to work for me was to shut down my browser and reopen it, then when I got back to the search previous auctions page I hit "refresh". After that it was working.

Could be coincidence, though.
