Title: Opinions wanted - new Blue Sheet
Post by: wwwww on July 16, 2013, 11:20:55 AM
For the past few months I've been working on a new Blue Sheet, there are a few things I still need to iron out, but otherwise it's mostly complete and am looking for any suggestions on how to improve it (or features you think it should have).

You can access it from here:
http://test.bluesheet.com.au/

You won't be able to login yet so you can only see the free version, here are a number of changes:
 - with the search box in the top left, you can enter a few letters about a coin (e.g. the date) and it will list matches which you can click on to instantly reach your desired coin. You can also enter PCGS or NGC certificate numbers and press enter to reach the certificate verification page.
 - Values are visible right up to the lowest MS grade without a subscription

There's also a decimal section (complete for RAM issues to 2008) which will be completed at the time of release:
You can preview it here:

There's also price history charts, the past sales are sorted by grade (alongside the values) for easier use but for the most part the interface is the same.

You may find it a bit slow, the final release will be faster.

the Decimal series now coming online

Here's a cool feature:
http://test.bluesheet.com.au/Identify/?q=1911%20matte%20proof

Type in something in the box and it will show you illustrations of all the matches (and links to their pages). E.g. the above link shows the 1911 Royal mint matte proof set.

Or 1930 pennies:

Hi Walter,

All looks good, the certification look up and link to a values page is a good idea, i'm assuming also if you looked up a PCGS number for a 1911 Penny in MS62RB for example it would also allow you to click and view the 1911 Penny page with a single click.

My only suggestion would be to increase the range of MS values for coins, for example I just looked up the current blue sheet values for a 1911 Penny and it has values for a MS62BN, MS63RB, MS64RB and MS65RB example, it would be great if there could be values for copper coins for all the MS examples, i.e. MS62BN, MS62RB, MS63BN, MS63RB, MS63RD, MS64BN, MS64RB, MS64RD etc.
