Dan769 Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan769 Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Guest Stujoe Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I save every coin related magazine I get. With subscriptions to 4 magazines, I have a nice big stack going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabone Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 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!

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.

Burks Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Not the same mag, but I have issues of Coins from 1991 and 1992 that I cannot bring myself to part with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll find a YN to give them away to. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
