Jeff,
All and all, it looks like your every day OSC store. Not much was changed to make it appear original.

You did a good job of entering all of your products in, but I would suggest putting pictures of coins for your categories (Halves, dimes, 2 cent pieces, etc). Currently you just have text.

Hope this helps a little.

If you remove the counter off your categories your site would speed up 1000% ... :shock:

It's starting to look very nice. Good improvements, keep up the good work.

Depending on your snapshot ...

There are either settings in /includes/application_top.php
// Categories Box: recursive products count

  define('SHOW_COUNTS', 'false'); // show category count: true=Yes False=No

  define('USE_RECURSIVE_COUNT', 'false'); // recursive count: true=Yes False=No

Or in the newer snapshots you will find the settings are now in the Admin Section for My Store

I think you need a statement (or catchphrase) below the logo like "Your one-stop shop for coin collectables" or "Coining it since 1995" or "More than nickles and dimes".

This is more a comment about the default store , than yours, the three links in header.php are repeated below in the navibar. Not necessary.

I changed the logo and added a catch phrase, tell me what you think.

And to answer Mike's question, I bought virtual space so i am hosting the site on my own space along with a couple of other sites.
