Ken_3567 Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 02/07/2007 5:38 pm Does anyone subscribe to Coinage Magazine? I've been a subscriber for the last 8 years and enjoyed their regular feature "Coin Capsule" last fall they stopped the feature and the magazine has become well uh...boring. When I e-mailed the company this was their reply: quote: Our "Coin Capsule" writer is indefinitely unable to write for us. That feature was his baby, so to speak, so we 1) want to make sure he's OK with us giving it to another writer, and 2) need to find the right person. Everyone, both readers and editors alike, misses it. Thank you for taking the time to let us know you feel the same. What's confusing me was that in the beginning of every mag is the editors comments. He never made mention of it. I don't know if there was some bad blood but they could've at least thanked the writer for his years of contribution. Doesn't sound too professional. Report this Post to the Staff

jtomlin Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 02/07/2007 6:31 pm I got a subscription for my son and myself for Christmas. I don't know what I'm missing since I didn't see the feature that you are referring to. At this point, I enjoy the magazine and I've learned a few things from some of the articles.

The feature would flip from something historic going on that year to something about coins that year. I do have some old back issues, I'll list the coin capsule years I have and if you want one then PM me and I'll shoot you the article: 1807 Capsule 1854 Capsule 1855 Capsule 1861 Capsule 1874 Capsule 1883 Capsule 1884 Capsule 1925 Capsule 2001 Capsule 2002 Capsule 1822 Capsule 1885 Capsule Report this Post to the Staff

cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2271 Posts	Posted 02/08/2007 12:34 am I didn't notice. Did John Iddings do all of these? He is an excellent writer. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
Ken_3567 Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 02/08/2007 4:21 pm Yep! That was John Iddings . Coinage is still an o.k. mag its just that John's feature differentiated it from the rest of the coin periodicals. Report this Post to the Staff
