nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 5:38 pm A mistake a novice coin collector would not make. I would call it a typo if not for the picture. WOW Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 5:47 pm I was just about to post about this, its just unbeleivabll! for those of you who don't know they talk about the king of Canadian coins(the '21 half) but refer to it as a 1911 and show a picture of a 1911. Feel free to call me Will. Edited by thedollarman 02/23/2015 5:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5588 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 7:07 pm Nothing that CCN does or doesn't do surprises me any more. It's pathetic that nothing is vetted in there any more or that those that are supposed to be editors are too busy finding advertisers or at an RCM function. Report this Post to the Staff
Pokermandude Pillar of the Community Canada 1192 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 7:52 pm Reminds me of the article that was done on two of my WWII era error coins. Two different coins, but the pictures in the article were the exact same. I forget the issue/volume, but it was the one with the Polar Bear $20for$20 on the cover. Report this Post to the Staff
The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 8:09 pm There was an issue of Numismatic News awhile back that didn't contain an article that was advertised on the cover. Report this Post to the Staff

Grandpapa Valued Member Canada 59 Posts	Posted 02/24/2015 1:04 pm In 2013 I exchanged a few emails with the editor of CCN in which I pointed out numerous mistakes and he promised to do better. That just didn't happen. Last October I emailed the new publisher, hoping for a better response. He thanked me and said he would be in touch. That never happened either. It makes me wonder - do they not care, or are they doing it on purpose. Every issue contains typos and/or factual errors that do not belong in a professional publication. I have been a reader and subscriber almost from the beginning. (Yes, I'm that old.) I still like reading a hard copy, but it is just getting too annoying. Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 02/24/2015 2:36 pm Yes it's sometimes =very frustrating=,...but they are volunteers that bust their butts to keep with strict deadlines.. and naturally things will go horribly wrong. ..I still very much enjoy the new look and the past info,..and just chuckle when they miss an obvious one.......... I just think about what an article "from me" would look like in there..It wouldn't be pretty.. Report this Post to the Staff
