"An end to commemorative coins in 1939 In my cover feature in the August monthly issue of Coin World, I explore changes made to U.S. commemorative coin programs in 1939, as Congress stepped in to curb the abuses that were making many in the hobby angry and a chosen few rich. Until the 1930s, commemorative coin programs were issued only occasionally. However, promoters convinced Congress that more is good, setting up horrendous abuses. In 1936 alone, 21 different commemorative coin programs were issued, totaling 34 individual coins. Read how this occurred and how a member of Congress finally stood up in the House of Representatives to demand a stop to the abuses.

Stop the bloody devil spamming my inbox with this nonsense if you're not going to send me the entire article.

So block'em with your email reader. Gotta consider if the (free) benefit outweighs the irritation. I subscribe to CW and NN. Don't always agree with what they do and say, but they definitely keep me better informed in ways it would be harder to do otherwise. Cal
Commonly referred to as advertising and practiced by every company on the planet But I get your point green, I really do. But then if they didn't use those teasers, they wouldn't sell any magazines now would they ? And if they didn't sell any magazines then you wouldn't get anything at all - free or otherwise. And don't forget, you always have the option to opt out of their emails so you don't get any at all - free or otherwise.
