whywing Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 07/30/2013 8:55 pm First off, at a local book store I came across a few titles on the magazine rack. I flipped through them and they all looked about the same to me. If I remember correctly these were what I flipped through: COINage, Coins Magazine, and Coin World. I have also heard of Numismatic News and the Numismatist. My question is which of these magazines do you enjoy the most and why? I would like to read interesting articles (e.g. history, collections, fan mail) that I assume show up regularly but I would like a consolidated place to find them. (I prefer physical copies to read rather than reading on a digital screen.) I don't want anything with a heavy focus on price but rather something more informative and geared towards learning. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

whywing Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 08/03/2013 3:20 pm I just went and flipped through the magazines again and I see myself getting Coin World online. They have so many advertisements, it is bothersome to try and read articles that you have to flip through a page or two of advertisements to find the next page of the article you are reading. I quite liked Coins and Coinage. Coins was particularly nice because this month has a heavy emphasis on dimes. :) Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 08/03/2013 3:29 pm All (or most?) magazines have ads like that. Normal. The only Coin World I have is a special issue that deals with only gold coins. I picked it up only because of that. Usually I will pick up Canadian Coin News, every 2-6 months.
