[QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 676700, member: 19456"]I have found the best to be the ANA's publication, [I]The Numismatist. [/I] For publications about US coins, I've also read a handfull of issues of CoinAge, Coins, and Coin Values. I find both worry too much about how much you can sell it for, and not enough about history. Of those three, [I]Coins[/I] is my favorite. I will routinely pick up Coins and CoinAge when I get to the book store (not often enough) but I don't get Coin Values unless there is an article I really want to read. I've only got two issues. For world coins, I read and subscribe to WorldWide Coins, an Amos publication (I got my first issue in the mail this past week!) My one complaint is that there is not enough to it. I read it from cover to cover (including ads) and it leaves me wanting more. For Paper money, the SPMC's publication is top-notch. I just joined the club, and got my membership card in the mail two days ago. Looking forward to getting the magazine :) I was given some older issues which I also read cover to cover, it's great stuff...very indepth and history detail oriented, which is what I like. I also read Paper Money Values from time to time. The articles in there I find to be a lot better then Coin Values. But only one shop locally stocks it so I don't get it often. I think I have three issues. The SPMC publication is better, however. Hope my opinions are of some use to you. EDIT: I've never seen Coin World or Numismatic News in person.
