Coin Values magazine. Do you save it?

I have saved every issue since they issued the glossy magazine with the regular Coin world issues. I like them for the grading insights and save them for that reason. The large clear pics are a blessing over the photograde books.

My only beef is that when there is grading tips for things like Sacagawea Dollars or Gold Bullion like next months issue.

How about you?

I had a bunch of them saved and certainly like the grading articles. Just got rid of all that I had saved but the last one that arrived.

How come Art? Did you find you didn't reference back to them at all?

I certainly don't use them all, maybe only 1/3 in reality, but I'm an accumulator by trade so...

I never used them after my first review. Mostly check them for pricing info and then I only use the latest version. Had them in my bookcase and a fellow I know wanted them so....

I don't bother with grading on most series. IHCs and Large Cents (1/2 are about the same) I use Snow's books for IHC reference and the EAC book & Wrights or Grellman's books for Large Cents. Now that I'm doing Lincolns and Jeffersons I should probably get some articles and save them. I reviewed the ANA Grading Stds for these two series and apply that to most of what I've got.

I have all of them saved. Well almost. I think I am missing a couple. And my subscription has lapsed since I have been out of the country.

I save every coin related magazine I get. With subscriptions to 4 magazines, I have a nice big stack going.

I go through mine and rip it apart and keep the articles of interest and put those in sheet protectors. I do not need to keep all the advertisments for 10 or 15 years. You might be amazed at how much space just keeping what you want reduces that mag to!

I agree with that. Sometimes I scan the article that I want and store it. Every once in a while I cut a CD or DVD with the files. Much less space consuming than magazines and books.

That's actually a pretty smart idea. May have to make that something I'll focus on some day.

I'd really hate to throw the magazines away. Maybe I'll find a YN to give them away to.

Not the same mag, but I have issues of Coins from 1991 and 1992 that I cannot bring myself to part with.

Usually I give them out at the coin club meetings. We have a table that people put newspapers, magazines, auction catalogs and that sort of stuff on. You just take what you want.
