Why so tedious and frustrating to search our hosts census/pops?

NGC has an amazingly simple search by coin - makes the process so simple while trying to find something but with our hosts POPs is like looking for a needle in a haystack.



Has anyone every brought this up before?



Some countries are like impossible with page after page of non-alphabetized, mix-dated etc. which can drive me nuts, and reverse it all if I need to see the pops in 58 - you basically need to start from scratch.

    Have you tried this link?

    It is a faster way to find aggregated data than to look up individual coins via cert number.

    Just tried it - its still quite complicated and just doesn't do wjat ATS does.



    Unless I am totally using it wrong.



    Take a country like Russia or Spain and the search becomes tedious and painful ;/

    I would think Lithuanian coins should have their own listing as opposed to being listed under Russia. Silly me looked under L and couldn't find them

    till I asked another collector.

    Is that called foreshadowing?

    I got to say for the US coins it is the exact opposite. Pcgs easy to use/search. Ngc , not so easy.

    Foreshadowing. I hope not. I was glad to see U.S. have troop exercises in Lithuania after problems in Ukraine.



    It also reminded me we agreed to protect Ukraine sovereignty in return for them dismantling nukes after Soviet

    Even though PCGS population report isn't searchable in the same way, NGC is kind of inconsistent with how the label and categorize different types. Sometimes I can't find things in search or in the menus. PCGS menus are organized and work 100% of the time for me.

    They just rolled out an absolutely fantastic census platform ATS - they are way way ahead of our hosts.



    Is anyone listening here in PCGS land?
