Coming at the time of the sudden rush of interest in British coins on the lead-up to decimalisation, the magazine soon became a respected numismatic publication. There were regular features on ancient and foreign coins, and its size (slightly larger than a normal paperback book) made it easy to handle. Sadly, its popularity faded in the 1980s and 1990s. Attempts to restore profitability by increasing the cover price to £3.95 (which even now seems high for a small-format magazine with black-and-white photos) failed, and it last hit the shelves in February 1992.

The only one now is Coin News, which is the old Coins & Medals magazine with a new name: http://www.tokenpublishing.com/coins.asp My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff

Somehow I don't see Patinkin slipping references to his own pop culture into his current work. Though it would be AWESOME. Report this Post to the Staff
