<p>[QUOTE="FrizzyAntoine, post: 7886887, member: 114961"]Personally I swear by acsearch premium. It's been immensely useful for me in a range of ways, especially in terms of finding provenance (though none that are terribly old, but 10-15+ years of recorded, verifiable sales history these days is always nice to have) and determining market value and my own max when bidding. While I would concede CoinArchives likely does have more functionality, I personally just can't justify the added price. The difference in cost is equivalent to a nice coin, and acsearch retains about 90% of the functionality of CoinArchives at ~15% of the cost. </p><p><br /></p><p>However I would like to see them add more pre-2000 catalogues, especially in the 1970-1999 range as these seem to be the provenances that are hardest to rediscover these days given the relative recency and massive abundance of sales coupled with a lack of ditigization for sales from this period. I feel that many of the more important and older pre-1950 catalogues can be accessed digitally more easily these days so those are a lower priority, though having these would of course also be nice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
