  So it has more of a "Numismatist" look to it, versus a newspaper?

  Could you post a pic or scan of it? I always get mine about a week after everyone else so I am excited to see it!

  Thanks for the pics. Are the whiny, complaining letters to the editor in full color too?

  Longacre,
  
  
  I saw you post from 11/2 about the new format. I did not mean to steal your thunder.
  
  Yes, every page has color.

  I need to see it in hand, but for some reason I don't like it from the pic. I will see, though.

  So far I am on the fence. I like the more liberal use of color and the smaller size will fit my shelf better.
  
  Font size seems to be the same for the articles, but the show calendar section is printed in a font that is quite small. Good thing we are numismatists and have a loupe handy to read that smaller type!

  LOL. And I thought I was the only one who noticed that.

  What about those full page ads from those dealers selling nothing but raw coins? It just wouldn't be Coin World without them.

  The whiny, complaining, nitty gritty letters are no different from many posts found here. Seems collectors are an irritable bunch with a propensity to get disturbed at VERY minor things. Must be from concentrating on grading.. makes all issues larger than life. Speaking of which, many should 'get one'... Cheers, RickO

  I have an online subscription, and am finding the articles in the new format much harder to read than the previous format.
  
  I've requested that they make the maximum online page size larger.

  I believe that was the whole point of the change.
