Even with the, ahem, "revamped" CoinFacts images you still have some cleaning up to do PCGS

I am still finding pics of coins labeled as certain varieties that are NOT the claimed variety. This HURTS newbie variety collectors that can get confused and potentially lose money by being mislead by a company that should know better.

    There is a link on each page:
    "Send us your feedback, comments, or suggestions."
    It can be used to offer corrections.
    Example:

    I used it to send a message that there was no "Condition Census" link on this RB page (while the BN and RD pages have such a link). Maybe the Condition Census page has to be created by hand and is not made directly from the database?

    I’m more than sure that they will make it right. All good things come in time😉

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    So for now you only get a few pictures? I'm only seeing 3 pictures at the top and 5 below (coin 4250 for example).

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    My biggest gripe right now is the teeny tiny magnified view. Why is it so small? It can easily take up more of the window.

    If you click on the photo it will open up where you can upload it (on the screen) to the max view.

    Yes I know, but to zoom in on that, one must open image in a new tab, then ctrl+ several times to enlarge, then scroll to the area you want to look at. If you just click the image it opens in a layer over coinfacts and trying to zoom in on it just makes the background larger, not the image. The old coinfacts had a nice magnified preview function, just hover the mouse pointer over an image and you were greeted by a big zoomed in view area.
