Thanks Matt, we appreciate the information and especially when it is free. 

One important suggestion:  prices for the U.S. Coin Guide need to be updated more frequently and more accurately.  For instance, the prices for a 1907 High Relief look high across the board -- AU58's are listed for $15,000+ and the market value is closer to $10,000 ($11K tops), which is about 30% less.

Hello @GoldFinger1969,

Thank you for the kind words and suggestions. We are always looking to improve our website and user experience. We try to update the pricing for key coins as the market changes but as you know there are too many coins to update. We have a few tools in the pipeline that we hope will assist our price guide team in monitoring and updating pricing as it is a very labor-intensive task.

I'm not a computer guy at all, but I would think maybe your IT or PC people can create a program or an algorithm that automatically downloads or links to completed sales over at HA, Stacks, even Ebay and maybe averages them.  Or averages the most recent 3 or 5 sales and maybe throws out the high or low outliers.

If you get within 5% of the most recent sales, that should be close enough.  JMHO.

Also while we're talking about gold (or other PM-related coins or non-PM coins).....having an easy link to past articles like your Counterfeit Detection and threads and articles here would be useful.  You could do that with other most popular coins like MSDs, SLQs, Franklins, Barbers, Lincolns, etc.  This relates to the difficulty of using the Search function and I'm still not sure if old threads pre-site re-do are accessible.  If they are, then having them brought up with a single click would be useful.  If they aren't part of the site anymore, then the same thing applies since you did the site redesign albeit with fewer threads and articles available.
