<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 738628, member: 112"]Using Heritage to its full extent seems a little complicated but it really isn't.

And not everybody uses the same methods and not all of the methods return the same results.

[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 738628, member: 112"]Using Heritage to its full extent seems a little complicated but it really isn't. I guess one of the first things you have to realize is that there are 2 main things the site does for you - 1 - it allows you to search for coins to buy 2 - it allows you to search for coins already sold so you can estimate value of the coins you want to buy Now with #2 there are several different ways to go about it as well. And not everybody uses the same methods and not all of the methods return the same results. Myself, I prefer just 1 method and it is the old way, the way that was there since the beginning, before all the other, newer methods, were added to the site. If I want to check realized prices, here is what I do. Sign in obviously, then click on Switch To Old Search Feature. When that window opens, click on the Auction Results link over on the left. This will open a new window with dialogue drop down boxes on the top left saying - Coins - Search - in - for - Leave the first box (Coins) alone. In the 2nd box it will say All Coins, click on the drop down arrow and select the coin type you want. If you want gold for example, scroll down until you see the gold, then click on the particular denomination you want. If you want Liberty Eagles ($10), then click on Liberty Eagles. Leave the 3rd box (in) alone. In the 4th box type in the particular date you want. If you want 1897, the type in 1897. Then hit the enter key - and page/pages listing all previously sold, in all grades, slabbed by all TPG's, 1897 $10 Liberty Eagles will open. You can refine that search further if you wish. Say you want only MS examples. Then in the 4th box type in - 1897 MS, and hit the enter key. Pages will list only MS examples. Or, if you want only MS64 examples, then type in 1897 MS64. And only MS64 examples will appear. You can do the same thing with any grade and it will bring up the results for just that grade. If you wish to narrow your search even further and have only 1897 MS64 LIberty Eagles slabbed by NGC - then type in 1897 MS64 NGC - and only those will show on the page. Same thing for any TPG. You can do the same things of course for any coin. Just select the right coin type from the list and go from there.[/QUOTE]
