[QUOTE="Bonedigger, post: 390564, member: 4367"]Thanks for the comments BQ, they are SPOT-ON.

I could see a smaller (mini magazine w/o the upcoming auction ads and other junk) be produced with the casual collector in mind. Maybe focus on a featured small-town (100,000 or less population) coin shop every month. Remember, there still is a strata of American Citizens who aren't taken in by bright shiney items offered for sale simply because they are on good paper. These are the collecters who can get along with the old standbys and when they do spread their collections you might be convinced that the focus of the ANA is in the wrong direction. BTW, yesterday I sent a few e-mails to the ANA with this simple idea and so-far the responses have been rather telling. NOTHING... Take Care Ben[/QUOTE]
