[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1409130, member: 26030"]Hey brg, Thanks for the great and useful criticism and suggestions! I actually did a similar exercise for the Matte Proof Lincolns and posted it on PCGS's Forum back in the Fall and no one from PCGS blinked. I think perhaps because this is a FREE and open website and I am not trying to make 1 red cent off it. Just doing it to promote the field of numismatics.

Yes exactly right on the PCGS front. I did put "PCGS Graded and TrueView Photographed" on the banner ... so it shows up on every page. I wanted to limit this to PCGS graded and photographed coins to level the playing field so to speak.
