4.0 out of 5 stars
This magazine comes out once a week...,
By A. M. (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Numismatic News (1-year) (Magazine)
This magazine comes out once a week so you will stay up-to-date with the hobby. One of the features of this magazine is the monthly price guide. This is a supplement to the actually magazine you get. In the price guide, tons of US coin prices are listed. This price guide is a retail price guide, not wholesale.
Another one of my favorite things about the magazine is the weekly mintage page. On this page all the mintages for what the mint has made in 2005 are listed. Wondering how many silver proof sets were made? What about the Kansas state quarter? You can find the answer of all of these in the magazine. Now to the articles. I personally find them okay. They are not bad and some are very interesting, but I would not say that they are outstanding. They do cover a diverse array of topics. A plus about the articles is they will keep you up-to-date. Was there a major auction or a large show? A record price or a major rarity discovered? You will find out when you read it. The last thing I have to say is about the classified ads. If you are a Numismatic News subscriber, you get a free 25-word classified ad with each issue. This means you could post an ad for buying coins, trading coins, or selling coins. This is a cool little feature of the magazine. Altogether this is an excellent weekly coin magazine. Compared to the other weekly coin magazine, Coin World, I would recommend the following. If you like the article more and do not care about the classified ads, go with Coin World. If you like the classified ads and do not care as much about the articles, go with Numismatic News. You cannot go wrong with either of the weekly publications. However, it is up to you to decide which one to subscribe to or...both?

Geared to the collector/investor so lots of great data!,

This review is from: Numismatic News (1-year) (Magazine)
I subscribe to this because I like the fact that it has all of the up to date info on US mint programs, machinations, mintage reports and auction gossip with results, etc. It also has a very active classifieds section and super coin dealer ads. In addition there is the obligatory spec piece on overlooked and undervalued coins/coin segments, etc. which probably don't amount to a hill of beans actually but always get one to thinking about the particular coin/coin segment highlighted in the particular article. An oddly compelling part of the magazine is the letters section where very opinionated people tend to bash each other over the course of two or three issues. It is a lively and engaging part of the magazine-newsweekly that would be sorely missed if it were ever cut out. Also there is often a guest opinion or two from some of the coin world's heavy weights and/or notables. Every other issue or so there is an insert that lists either upcoming auctions and coin shows, or a table of inflated coin values (per all coin magazine tradition). On price alone, I highly recommend this but also if you like the cult/star trek aspect of coin collecting this is certainly a must-subscribe to periodical.
