Today I received the new issue (11/19) of Coinworld in the smaller size format. I like it. The ability for them to use more color photos is long over due.

I will admit that I am a bit behind in my reading, so if any pre-publication announcement about the format change was made, I missed it. I just about threw it in the trash thinking it was a holiday sale flyer! That would have burned my butt when I found out I tossed an issue. Looks and feels really different. Will be hard to get used to not having the newspaper type format.

I must say I found it easier to read (smaller format and color print). It's quite different, and felt a lot better. I don't know if it's because of the new format, but the content of that "first" issue seemed even more interesting. I read it cover to cover!

Agree, it was way over due. I like the format and just signed up for another year.

I would like to subscribe to this and banknote reporter, but then the problem comes of trying to get rid of it when I am done with it. I never let anything remotely numismatic in publication go out without being shredded, then burnt. I get the Lyn Knight auction catalogs, and those are a big hassle to get rid of, cannot shred or burn those easily.

Buy a bigger shredder

i only shred pages with personally-identifying information. the rest of the stuff goes into the recycler. by the time the truck picks up my recycling it's already mixed in with the recycling of hundreds of other residents on my block.

Uh, have you tried shredding one of those inch thick Lyn Knight catalogs?

I bet that bogs the motor down a bit most likly just about stops it.

Why bother? With the highly decorated envelopes from the Royal Mint, everyone knows the collectors of the neighbourhood anyway!

Thats true
