Where did the grading and coin value pages go?
Maybe it's just my computer but there use to be links to grading and coin values in the upper right hand area of the screen. They aren't there anymore and just wondering if they have been eliminated?

I would say yes because of the way some of the design is visible between missing letters.

The software is often used to do an overlay to confirm a mintmark position for a variety.
Here is a LINK http://www.maddieclashes.com/one-cent-overlays/ to coin overlays at MaddieClashes.com.
In the case of die anomalies showing up on a coin, it can be used to confirm a die clash.

Yep, a die clash.
Although it is not very strong, the reverse memorial building is almost entirely visible, which is neat compared to most clashes.
Take a look at the links DCS coins provided and you will see some doozies.
