End of RSS Feed and New Adaptive Images

After 12 years since its creation, we have decided to end our RSS Feed service. All links to it will be removed from our website, and the RSS files will be deleted by the end of this month. If you are using this service and you still wish to follow any news or updates from our website and services, you can still do so through our Blog, our Facebook and Twitter pages, or simply by accessing the News Page from our website.

We have also increased the size of the pictures in our desktop version and changed them to adaptive in the mobile version –which will allow users with bigger screens and higher dpi to see clearer images of our coins. You can also benefit from this new feature from any mobile device by turning it to the horizontal position; as well as from a full list of prices for all grades in the Price Guide.

We hope you like these changes, and we apologize to anyone still subscribed to our RSS Feed. If you have any questions or find any bugs, we would appreciate if you contact us through the email addresses listed in our Help Page.

New Changes to our Website

This week we have uploaded a new adaptive version of our website, which consolidates both mobile and computer versions of our site in the same URL address. The main advantages to this change is saving the extra loading time needed during the redirection between different versions, and avoid confusing our users with two different addresses for the same pages. The website will detect if it’s been accessed from a computer or a mobile device, and will show the appropriate version. Even though we have updated the algorithm to account for new mobile devices and browsers, it’s possible that the wrong version will be shown –or that you may even prefer the one that’s not designed for your device (especially if you are using a tablet)- reason why we left the buttons in the configuration menus and the links at the bottom left of each page for you to change to the desired version.

In regards to your preferences and settings, these will be stored in a cookie for 6 months, as well as the content of your shopping cart; so you won’t have to enter this information again every time you start a new session. We remind you that these cookies don’t contain any information about you or your device –only the settings and the cart content- and that we never access, analyze or store this data. In any case we have adopted the new security protection features for cookies (HttpOnly and Secure) so that they are only sent encripted through secure HTTPS and are not accessible by other client side applications.

We have also created a new section with all the additional content we produce. In it you can find our Video Guides and other Videos; which were previously embedded directly on our help page. You can access this new section though our Help Page or directly through their index in the new Media Page.

Other minor changes include bigger pictures for the detail pages of both versions –mobile and computer-, buttons to share any page on Facebook and Twitter, and changing the whole website from XHTML to HTML5.

As always, we hope you like all these new changes, and would appreciate if you let us know of any bugs -or simply let us know if you don't like any feature-, by sending us an email through one of the addresses listed in Contact Us.
