More Articles On Lower-Priced Coins?

Good point but remember that the people that write for them, their publisher, editors all have jobs that pay and possibly a lot. Many people working and making good money have sort of lost touch with reality.
Now here is a thought. Sit down and start writting articles you think people would like to read in those magazine. Start sending them in to them. Possbly your not good at story telling but even if not, you could start them thinking of what people like you are interested in. Possibly you could end up a reporter for them.

People are dreamers, no one wants to read about what they can walk down to the corner LCS and buy. They want to dream, they want to read all about the $10 mil auction and the V-nickel.
Road & Track doesn't write about Ford Fiestas, they write about what people dream of owning, Mercedes, Vettes, Porsches and such. People Magazine makes millions writing
about Lindsey Lohan, not my neighbor Barb.

Even when they do write about " affordable " coins it's usually, " coins you can have for under $500 dollars. " People don't want to read about how they can buy an ASE now for $32 and have it be worth $40 dollars next year. They want that coin they can buy for $200 and have it be worth $1000 next year.

Most coin magazines I've read (which admittedly wasn't much) had mainly articles about coins that are ridiculously obscure - but reasonably affordable (very possibly within $100).

Imagine magazine articles discussing recently discovered VAMs, or listing varieties of a specific mint of Fallen Horseman. That sort of thing (except usually more obscure).
