I get Coin Values and CoinAge. They are both good but I prefer Coin Values because they tend to go into a bit more detail on specific coins. CoinAge will go into detail but it is more history and story.


I agree with the analysis but I like CoinAge better, since I don't like the overwhelming focus on prices of Coin Values. I like the history & story aspect of CoinAge. I buy CoinAge by subscription & pick up Coin Values at Barnes & Noble.

I'm also concerned about advertising that I collect coins. I was surprised when my CoinAge subscription started about 9 months ago that it didn't come in a discreet wrapper. For this reason, I'm thinking of letting the subscription run out & just picking it up at the store, even though it's much more expensive.

BTW, I just sent the following email to CoinAge Magazine I'll post their reply when & if it comes.:

"I'm concerned about advertising that I collect coins. I was surprised when my CoinAge subscription started about 8 months ago that it didn't come in a discreet wrapper. For this reason, I'm thinking of letting the subscription run out & just picking it up at the store, even though it's much more expensive. I'm sure many others have the same concern. The extra cost of a discreet wrapper would be more than offset by the increase in subscriptions once people found out you're using a discreet wrapper. How about it?"

I just got a response from CoinAge. They said it would cost too much money. I reminded them that the extra cost of a discreet wrapper would be more than offset by the increase in subscriptions once people found out you're using a discreet wrapper. They said sorry but no. I told them that I will then let my subscription run out. They said sorry but they wouldn't change the way they mail it.

If you work somewhere you can trust, have your subscriptions mailed there. For added protection, use your title, not your name. I started doing this because I was tired of having so many things jammed into my mailbox!

If you have the means, a PO box is great for everything you do not want tied to your house.
