We will start adding in Gold variations next week.

Thanks to Matt K. and Ken S. for pointing out further variations missing from our checklist. Any feedback is incorporated into the site to help better serve the coin collecting community.

We are making progress with the classification of these new variations and varities, but there still may be some items that are getting misclassified. In the event anyone finds a misclassified item, please send us an email from the contact page, include the eBay item ID and we will correct it.

eBay changed their category tree on Friday and as a result our coin summary stats were all showing zeros.

We've made the necessary updates and all stats are now showing normally.
