TPRC · September 12, 2012 10:05AM

For me, obviously Heritage is great, but Coin Facts is pretty all-encompasing if you go to the auction archives. Also, Stack's seems to work sometimes but not work other times for me and I have no idea why that is.

Zoins · September 12, 2012 10:09AM

Does anyone know of any archives for the original Battle Creek sale? TCCS had some archives but that site's no longer online

Why bother assembling a list when CoinFacts has already done all the work for you?

I like Lance's idea, how do you know PCGS is including all these sites and are doing it accurately. I trust my own research the best and these gives me the opportunity to be confident by going directly to the sites. >>

ty alan, couldn't have said it better myself

LanceNewmanOCC · September 13, 2012 7:58AM

<< Why bother assembling a list when CoinFacts has already done all the work for you?

-Paul >>

another thing that occurred to me and at this point is obvious but i'll say it

coinfacts while being great and holds great promise, falls quite short for listing the entire USA catalog of all known issues, varieties accepted or not

many of the TPGs split ground on many issues and if pcgs holds coinfacts it will be biased on what they deem listable.

this is not a slant against pcgs or coinfacts in the least but NO 1 site offers it all and if one tried would most likely have a terminal aneurysm prior to completion

ok i'm going off-topic slightly but i prefer to have this info in one of my threads for easy access

------------------shows ALL sizes---------------------------

1. do a pcgs cert lookup here

2. enter your cert to turn up this page (random HA archive coin with a TV)

3. right-click on the image to copy image location and turn up this: http://images.pcgs.com/TrueView/19974723_large.jpg (onmouseover function works bottom left if you know what you are doing)

4. use the following additions to get the size image for your item.

http://images.pcgs.com/TrueView/19974723_small.jpg - quite small and probably equal to a thumbnail
http://images.pcgs.com/TrueView/19974723_large.jpg - big and loads fairly quick
http://images.pcgs.com/TrueView/19974723_max.jpg - very big and very slow loading time

examples:
Thumbnail (200 x 101)
http://images.pcgs.com/TrueView/19974723_small.jpg (225 x 114)
http://images.pcgs.com/TrueView/19974723_225.jpg
medium (550 x 278)
large
http://images.pcgs.com/TrueView/19974723_450.jpg (1100 x 555)
http://images.pcgs.com/TrueView/19974723_large.jpg
extralarge (2200 x 1110) - same as 2200 below
http://images.pcgs.com/TrueView/19974723_2200.jpg

800x600.jpg

PCGS white background TrueView jpg

solid white background CoinFacts jpg

transparent background CoinFacts png

http://images.pcgs.com/TrueView/19974723_max.jpg (5757 x 2905)

TrueView can be substituted with CoinFacts as well as SecurePlus

http://images.pcgs.com/SecurePlus/ - this only displays SP images

5. just swap out the cert number in the links to get the TV for your item, if your item has a TV that is.

/19974723_max.jpg the TV number in this example is 19974723

there are some creative methods to skip a few steps depending on the information you are after.

this page shows the sizes with links at the bottom of the page
