I am really enjoying searching the Heritage CSNS auctions using the new search software...

It really streamlines things for me. I just wanted all of you (especially Realone) to know. image

    I also love the new software, and look forward to getting good deals on the amazing pedigreed bust dimes! image

    I hate the new interface.

    Heritage better look long and hard at Internet bidding activity before/after the change.

    I actually really like the new system. At first I hated it, but once I got used to it, and found the box on the left hand side of the pg, I find it works
    much better than the old system

    Well, yuor meen, to. image

    Realone is a good sport. He is probably mastering the site even as we speak.

    All kidding aside (if that is allowed), I'm not enjoying it at all. It makes the types of searches I typically use, much less efficient and more time consuming.

    Since you asked, setting aside the kidding is not permissible. image

    While I don't like the new search feature, I must note that for browsing an auction it's not bad at all. In fact, I've been going through the CSNS and CICF sales similar to how I would go through Stack's sales. But note this is the thorough browsing through all lots and pages, not searching for individual items (which I have not had a need to do so recently). On that thought I guess I should note that when a Stack's or Goldberg sale comes up, the first thing I do is check certain categories before going through the entire sale. I also used to do that for Heritage. I did not do it for this set of sales.

    And, since I suspect the Heritage folks are reading, a request.

    You have, now and in the past few years, had collections of important die varieties. However, these varieties are noted only in the lot detail page, not on any sort of lot browsing page (any more). For those of us interested in such things, it'd be much appreciated if die varities were listed while browsing through lots.

    p.s. once I got used to it, the new search is no big deal. I really don't know why it got Realone's panties in a wad....then again, he does use a Mac. image

    I don't like it and, as a result, I spend less time there.

    The response time is really slow - too complicated a web site for my network I guess, which otherwise allows rapid transmission of imaging studies from around the state to my office. image

    I like to look at what non-proof barber halves they have for sale/auction. With the old system, there was a listing of the coin types (Barber Halves, and Proof Barber halves were listed separately) and it was on the front page of the Coin section of their website. Now I have to click on "half dollars" first on the front page, then wait for another page to load. Then I can select barber halves. It brings up non proofs first, then proofs. If I want to get rid of the proofs in the list I can search through the 85 item list on the far left and choose "MS/unspecified" to get rid of the proofs. Then I can begin looking at the coins I wanted to.

    I have played around and the new search feature lets you sort and search in a more open and specific manner. But as I explained above, it takes me three or four steps to do my usual routine instead of the one click it used to take. Somehow I will manage, but it is a bit annoying.

    Way ahead of you. image I believe this will be in effect for the next auction.

    I started using the "gallery" view for browsing. I can see a lot of coins at once, presented as they would be in a dealer's case, then look more closely at the ones I want. This seems to save a little time over the older browsing views.

    I wish there was an easier way to find the type of material I'm interested in bidding on - namely Conder tokens!

    After 2+ hours of trying different words and phrases to search on I finally found 1 such token listed for the CICF auction - and that was by searching by English county names. There has to be a better way to find these! Usually the only searches that succeed in finding these are by county name and by merchant name - not pleasant options! This was also a problem with the old search method also image

    Failed searches included (but not limited to): Conder, token, medal, Dalton, Hamer, D&H

    Any suggestions Heritage?
