I want to subscribe one coin magazine to broaden my knowledge.
I dropped by BN today, and found out several magazines.
I don't know what's the differences or which one is better.
Based on my first looking, 'coin values' seems to be good.
I want good price guide (good means more realistic market value) and some introductory coin knowledge/facts.
any recommendations for good coin magazine?
Please help me. thanks a lot.

 I usually recommend Coin Values & Coin World for new beginners as each issue of Coin Values focuses on grading aspects for a certain coin and Coin World provides current $$ trends for coins. Both aspects (lack of grading knowledge & current market prices) are two of the areas newbies get taken for a ride. I like to remove the grading pages and save them in a binder as they are useful and are in color and color is something my existing grading guides lack. |

I bought the very first edition of Coin World -- Vol. 1, No. 1. I still like it. I think the previous advice is good. Edited by Gary Burke

I have been a subscriber of Numismatic News for about 6 years and enjoy it. It has a pullout price guide each month that is good. madspec |

I have Numismatic News. I really like it is about have the price of Coin World. I had Coin World last year and switch to N.N this year since funds where tight. Like Madspec said it does have a price guide in as well. I think both N.N and Coin World are great since they are weekly so you are getting new info weekly instead of monthly. also N.N has a section that has Mint Satitics. |

 One way to check the magazines is to go the library. If your library doesn't get them call other libraries and ask if they have a subcription for them. |

yup, be sure and check your library. My local subscribes to Coin World so I can manage to catch about all of those for free. Be sure to look on ebay for cheap subscriptions also. I know COINage can be found for around 10 dollars for a year. I just started a subscription to that and it's interesting. As far as price guides go it doesn't have much but I'd say it's worth the 10 bucks. |

Local coin shop sells his back issues for 50 cents. great way to get some cheap reading.
