what do you think is the best coin magazine/reading material?

[AstroTrain]

I read a lot of stuff, but allways looking for new stuff....

 

What say you?

[jpcienkus]

I'll be interested to hear the opinions. I just started receiving Coin World and The Numismatist. I have no other reference and I'd like the boards feedback too.

I just read Bower's book "Adventures with Rare Coins" on the advice of RWB.....an awesome book. It was published in 1979 and it's interesting to see how much things have changed since then.....but still very, very informative. GOD BLESS...

I think they are are all weak in whole. There are some well written articles if you pick through the rubble. I like the Rosen Subscription Newsletter as a fun read. MJ

Numismatic News. Not expensive and they are published quite regularly.

i like numismatic news as well. its just all the advertisement that one has to go through that gets annoying at times

Yea, it is a bit annoying at times.

COINage has a enough good articles to make a subscription worthwhile. Since I'm more into history their "time capsule" articles are quite interesting to me. Tom Delory also contributes so good reseatch articles.

I like Coin World a lot, b/c they have good articles but they also have a LOT of national dealer offerings for sale. I enjoy 'The joys of Collecting' by QDB and also the 'Market Analysis' column.

For general periodicals, "The Numismatist", hands down. I love the EAC rag though.

[AstroTrain]

I get Coin World, Numismatic News, and the Numatist. I will read each one cover to cover in a single day. I just really want more. I read all the time and the worst is searching for something new

[DaveG]

I always look forward to getting the weekly e-mail of the E-Sylum link . It's free and there are a ton of back issues on their website.

 

I also like the E-Gobrecht, which is e-mailed monthly, I think. It's also free and there are also back issues on SeatedDimeVarieties.

 

The Gobrecht Journal is very good, too.

 

The Numismatist has been getting better lately.

[mumu]

Are the main magazins available as online subs? I wouldnt want substitute postman or neighbors seeing coin magazines arrive.

[DaveG]

Coin World is available as on-line only; I don't know about the others.

 

 

 

Have you considered having your numismatic mail go to a PO Box?

[AstroTrain]

Coin World ships in a black plastic bag so you can't tell what's inside. Postman probably thinks I'm waiting for porn mags to come every month!

Well if I subscribed to a first magazine that would be all of my numismatic mail ....unless you mean the coins themselves in which case, yeah I should do that. But not really buying that much lately to justify a box.

[michael]

coin world and numismatic news are one of the best

 

the numismatist is also really good too

 

i would definately get the C4 newsletter and the bi monthly EAC journal this pair if not read you are missing tons of american historical and collectible coinage

 

the quarterly ans journal has some snippits of great information from my experiences
