I switched from CoinWorld to Numismatic News
last year. I like CoinWorld more but not enough
to pay double over NN. I never used their electronic
versions .

 

Coin World & Numismatic News are the only two that I subscribe to. You can also get the Coin World Special Editions added to your subscriptions, but I don't. The Special Editions have sections that cover currency & foreign coins. There are a couple of other magazines out there available for subscription called Coins & Coinage. They have pretty pictures are articles about different coin types, but I stay away from them. Haven't tried the digital versions of magazines. I'm a geezer and I like having an actual magazine in from of me.

 

i cant find thenormal one all i see is the coin worlld special edition for 19.99

 

Coin World opened my eyes to the existence of the big companies that are more ethical than various others that operated outside proper business practice. Some good journalism but not as cutting edge as it could be; ultimately a commercial enterprise that is more interested in selling product than educating the public about all the facets of this business and hobby. BTW, when introducing new threads it is common grammatical practice to capitalize subjects not use lower case as when texting.

 

you must not have been here in a wile


so there are more ads then anything?

 

Isn't Coin World online free with an ANA membership?

 

I think " coins" is a great magazine

 

i cant find that magazine got a link ?

 

Ya, here you go: http://numismaster.com/ta/inside_numis.jsp?page=coinsmagazine

 

thats thje one iv been checking stores for do you have a sample or link to sample

 

No, I have one from mylocal dealer, I do have a slip to subscribe, I can send it To you if you want

 

no iv never seen the inside of the magazine

 

I heard their new editor, Steven Roach, give a lecture at a coin show a while back. He gave a talk about a high profile court case involving some stolen gold coins. He is a man of very high intellect, and I'm sure he brings it to the magazine.

 

I can try to get another copy to send you

 

COINS has to be the best "bang for the buck" publication
ever. Especially for U.S Type collectors who want info about
every series they're collecting by type without having to buy a
reference book for every series. And you can get back issues
off ebay or ABE's. COINS makes Type collecting practical. It
goes back to early 60's. I'm sure every U.S series has been covered
by now. Some of it by researchers such as RW Julian, who, IMO, could
match wits with Breen any day of the week.

 

dang now i dont know whicjh one to get

 

Barnes and Nobles carries COINs. At least where
I'm at they do.

 

Krause publications is pretty flexible. You can
probably get trials on any of their pubs. I know you
you can get trials on Numismstic News. I've used
them several times in the recent past.
