New Website

DonWillis · November 30, 2009 11:03AM

Tuesday morning around 8 am PST we will be upgrading to a new PCGS website. Our website will be down for about an hour as the necessary technical conversion is made.

We don't anticipate any major problems and hope that we can quickly correct all the minor issues as they pop up. Please be patient.

We've designed an all new website that we believe will be easier to navigate, more functional and informative.

Goldbully · November 30, 2009 11:11AM

Mr. Willis,

Will you be maintaining many of the same links on the new site?
Thanks
GB

ps. I'm looking forward to the new site....I know it cost big bucks.
We'll be patient....best wishes on the new site!!!

Did you get my PM Don?

STONE · November 30, 2009 11:19AM

I sure hope so Don. The last time PCGS made a change, navigation was nearly impossible. To this day I still have to locate old forum thread to find pages I know exist but simply cannot find from the home page.

The collector's Club Special comes to mind.

Goes great with this

Bear · November 30, 2009 12:54PM

I will remain hopeful, but with trepidation.

Serene but with some cardio palpitations.

Confidant, but with a tinge of anxiety.

Basically , my normal every day self.

ClosedLoop · November 30, 2009 1:06PM

well isn't that special.

Bochiman · November 30, 2009 1:13PM

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

People will be wandering around in a daze when they can't get on.......and there will be posts all along cyberspace saying "PCGS site is down!!!" by those that aren't here paying attention

Unknown · November 30, 2009 4:04PM

This content has been removed.

dbldie55 · November 30, 2009 4:43PM

Hope it works out better than it did for Heritage. At least they have left the old look accessible, so I can still use their site.

jsf · November 30, 2009 9:49PM

this should be good

*ed.- "We hope you enjoy the new-look site. We know we can count on your comments."

Man, do they know us or what?! btw, congrats on the new look. iat.

BuffQuarter · November 30, 2009 9:53PM

Guess y'all will have to spend an hour with your wives. A tragedy.

cmerlo1 · November 30, 2009 10:35PM

Looking forward to it!

ponderit · November 30, 2009 11:20PM

I look forward to it as well. I'll think of it as a new adventure...

blu62vette · December 1, 2009 12:30AM

Looks like I need to find a way to kill some time in half an hour....

tahoe98 · December 1, 2009 12:32AM

.....let's just hope THIS change is palatable.

Goldbully · December 1, 2009 1:20AM

PCGS.com is currently down while we implement a completely new look and more.

Wait until you see it!

While you�re waiting, check out this video introduction to the new site.

I can't see any video!!!

adamlaneus · December 1, 2009 1:20AM

Video fixed.

0:50 "Take a bath"?!?

LindeDad · December 1, 2009 2:54AM

It's been a really long hour.

19Lyds · December 1, 2009 3:00AM

<< It's been a really long hour.

Two Hours and counting.

Perhaps in the future these "upgrades" can be scheduled for 12:01 am ?

barefootjuan · December 1, 2009 3:10AM

I guess now we need to be a member to look at the Price Guide... anything other then the most active.

LeeG · December 1, 2009 3:13AM

Watched the video while I was waiting. Pretty cool.

zeebob · December 1, 2009 3:17AM

The link off the new PCGS webpage to "message boards is broken."

LindeDad · December 1, 2009 3:29AM

I just used it to get here.
The registery is in need of a lot of help though.
I'll be back tomorrow to see what is old by then.

19Lyds · December 1, 2009 3:35AM

Interesting.

I did not have to login again which means it kept my login active.

Or something along those lines.

BNBAnalytics · December 1, 2009 3:51AM

Thanks for informing us, Mr. Willis. Much respect.

barbershopper · December 1, 2009 3:52AM

I'll second that!

19Lyds · December 1, 2009 3:58AM

I wonder when the price guide will get updated to point to the new PCGSCOINFACTS.com web page instad of the old COINFACTS.com site?

yellowkid · December 1, 2009 4:04AM

Things seem to be working fine here at the "old" site, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

CoinRaritiesOnline · December 1, 2009 4:08AM

Just saw the new home page. Lookin' good! Looks fresh, and I could find everything I use easily.

Justacommeman · December 1, 2009 4:16AM

easy peezy lemon squeezy

Clean looking site. Me likey so far. MJ

BaseballAbs · December 1, 2009 4:18AM

Site looks great, but the photos on the site when you click on to enlarge don't look as good as the last site.My bust quarter set

BaseballAbs · December 1, 2009 4:20AM

Enlarged photos are not centered and not as nicely framed in like before

New site may still be in the process of working out the bugs.

littlebear · December 1, 2009 4:21AM

Quite nice in appearance and runs smoothly!

Larry L.

MsMorrisine · December 1, 2009 4:22AM

needs a "contact web site team" link....

PCGS number lookup:

Gold Buffalos (2006 to Date) first goes to a blank page

Gold Buffalos (2006 to Date) second doesn't

====================

Presidential Dollar (2007 to Date) first goes to a blank page

Presidential Dollar"s" (2007 to Date) second doesn't
(note the plural "dollars" as opposed to "dollar" in the rest of the list)

Thanks for the giveaway!

Windycity · December 1, 2009 4:59AM

Photos are red X's for me.

Cameonut · December 1, 2009 6:09AM

I like the freshened look of the site and I have been able to find the links I normally use.

hiijacker · December 1, 2009 6:16AM

I think the link to these message boards should be higher up on the page. My primary way to get to these boards is to go to pcgs.com and then hit message boards.

Bear · December 1, 2009 7:19AM

The change is much like the grocery store, where

a new and improved can of coffee, actually contains

fewer ounces of the coffee itself. The loss of the up

to date pricing list is certainly a decision that the

company has a right to do, however, that right does

not necessarily make it right, wise or appropriate. I

will now get my needed information from Heritage. If

PCGS would make a reasonable membership fee and

make all of the services available for that one fee, I

believe that many of us, who are not members, would

pay that fee. In my opinion, a fee of 35 dollars a year

would be reasonable. While I suppose time will tell the

difference between a wise move from a foolish move, I

for one am disappointed . I would also remind the

powers that be, that loyalty is a valuable commodity and

one hard won by any company. When the cost of that loyalty

is to be nickled and dimed to death, then their is a risk, that

the sense of loyalty, may slipaway thru the corporate fingers.

This criticism is sadly, but respectfully submitted, on behalf of

this one Forum Member of many years.

On the positive side, I love the grading chart of pictures. It is the

best that I have ever seen for grading. I like the new colors, and at

least, the uncirculated grade values, are still available to all. A little good

a little bad .

Rampage · December 1, 2009 7:46AM

I love the new format PCGS. Great job!

One comment: The pictures on the photograde show only as red Xs.

Broadstruck · December 1, 2009 7:47AM

The white and baby blue is very easy on the eyes... I dig it!

Very well said Bear. Heritage will benefit greatly from the price guide move by PCGS. My eyes and many others will be focused on other places now more often then here. Sad.....
