<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2412559, member: 73165&quot;]Meh, I don&#039;t know about that.&nbsp; By and large, <i>Coins</i> and <i>COINage</i> don&#039;t really do much for me.&nbsp; Half the issue is taken up with their useless price guides, and the articles aren&#039;t terribly in depth most of the time.&nbsp; I can&#039;t comment on <i>Numismatic News</i> or <i>Coin World</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing though: if you do pick up one of the national publications, the dealers that advertise there come in basically two varieties.&nbsp; One is the high to moderately high priced but legitimate dealers; these are fine to buy from if you&#039;re prepared to pay the price.&nbsp; The other is the low end junk peddlers.&nbsp; If you use a little common sense, it&#039;s not super difficult to tell them apart.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and FYI, Jack Beymer is in the &quot;high to moderately high priced but legit&quot; category.&nbsp; He has quality stuff.&nbsp; Don&#039;t be afraid to buy from him even though his ads (and even his web site, lol) don&#039;t have pictures.&nbsp; He&#039;s the guy people I know will go to when they&#039;re hunting for &quot;that coin&quot; and just can&#039;t find it.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen him and his wife at shows.&nbsp; They have quality stuff, and he&#039;s very knowledgeable and friendly. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
