Well-designed dealer websites ... what are your favorites?

The design of some dealer's sites are pleasant looking and easy to navigate and others, well, are less so.

I like David Kahn's site among others.

What are some of your favorites for "look and feel" rather than for "good deals?"

    Fits what I have been working on lately to a T. And being a member here is easy to deal with.

    Teaparty and Brian Greer are both very easy to use.

    CRO. The less clicks, the better.

    Yes indeed, Allan has the easiest to navigate I have found. His pictures may not be the greatest around
    but he's been working on them and his prices are on Greysheet and less. Supe nice dealer and lots of
    coin stuff.

    NO. His site might be nice to browse, but it is impossible to search. Sorry, I feel compelled to take
    exception on this one.

    In addition to JJ Teaparty I also think Rick Snow's is very well designed.

    CRO is clean and all the coins are on one page. I like Legend as well. You can jump to the inventory page from all screens

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    CRO, Legend, Eagle Eye, Mark Feld

    Doug Winter's site isn't bad, but I like his old one a bit better.

    I like John Kraljevich's site, but he doesn't seem to pay much attention to keeping his inventory current.

  • I like Aspen Park however it lacks a search feature.

    Back in the day, I liked Anaconda the best due to their large photos and easy navigation. They were one of the few dealers that offered 2 coin and 2 slab photos like HA and eBay do.

    These days I like CRO, Legend and HA. CRO and Legend have good photos and easy navigation. HA has good photos, historical prices and cert numbers.

    For dealer sites, things I appreciate include:

    - good photos
    - easy navigation
    - cert numbers
    - historical prices

    Things that make a great website to me:

    1) Great photo's
    2) I can find a coin in 2 clicks or less
    3) Simple, well organized, and not overwhelmed in fluffy descriptions
    4) Discrete borders between coin listings
    4) Price visible (none of that "Call for Pricing" stuff)
    5) etc.

    Many of those qualities have been listed thus far and I can think of several others

    You have to use the right search terms. Alan usually lists the denomination so instead of "cent" search "1c." The advanced search is pretty good too.

    I'm not familiar with this dealer, but I've got to say his is an excellent website. Very easy to use and he sells vintage coin albums as well.
