<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gunsmoke, post: 199835, member: 6896&quot;]I would like thank all those who contributed to this thread (and those whose responses haven&#039;t come in yet). I think a lot of us have the same problem in that we don&#039;t know exactly what we want in a numismatic publication, but we feel vaguely that what&#039;s available isn&#039;t it. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll buy a magazine now and then and although the ads, with their great photos, are worth looking at, there&#039;s no more than one or two articles that interest me in a given issue. I think maybe the fault is mine; maybe I&#039;m not as interested in coins as I think I am. On the other hand, maybe numismatics is a rather thin subject. How far can you go in it before you run up against a stone wall of total boredom?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a special feeling about Coins magazine. A long time ago (OK, it was 1966) I was a young, unpublished writer sending off fictional stories to various publications and getting back rejection slips. The first magazine to accept a story of mine--and pay for it--was Coins. (They used to run one piece of fiction in each issue, along with a good many factual articles.) But after all these years, I find that Coins and the other numismatic publications offer material only about 10 percent of which interests me. It may be my fault rather than theirs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
