TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 1:40 pm Been a good while since I had my hands on this publication. Anyways I was browsing through one at Walmart today. Is it just me or has that mag gotten thinner? Seems like a lot of ads in there.... Report this Post to the Staff

spaceace Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 3:35 pm I very rarely will read CoinAge. It seems like I flip through about 4-5 pages to get to an article then 4-5 more pages for the next. Overall there seems to be little content of interest to me relative to the numerous pages of ads and other "junk". I understand that ads are needed but I would rather see it printed bi-monthly or even quarterly if that would mean less ads and more interesting articles. Report this Post to the Staff
bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 5:18 pm CoinAge is an interesting magazine. It has a number of informative articles and a listing of current coin values. (current meaning their time of publication in or around). Their subscription is cheap and I believe they tack on an extra year.This seemed to be the case with me not sure. My wife says no Interesting to look at some of the coins for sale in the adds. We are talking serious money. Quote: less enjoyable amterial. @ oih,What is amterial?

kevro22 Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 09/14/2013 10:12 am Same here. I got coinage for several years back in the 80's and early 90's and remember them being thick and chock full of articles and features. Didn't read them then for years and bought one recently to thumb through- it seemed about half the size and full of ads. The price had gone up too. Now I just go to the website and read what I can etc. .... Report this Post to the Staff
BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 12:24 pm You see this in all the magazines. Computer rags used to be 1000 pages and the rule of thumb seemed to be one article for every 10 pages or so for the 1st half, so you got 50 articles. Now they're all gone. Just not as much money in publishing anymore. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
