I read both Weekly Publications from time to time and was interested in what others thought. Which one is better?

I do not subscribe and will not subscribe...I do not like my name in "databases" and I do not feel the need to advertise the address of a coin collector. I just pick them up at a shop every now and then. Recently, I have liked Coin World a bit more. The majority of Numismatic News can be read on their website.

I receive both and the only reason why I keep renewing N.N. are the weekly Mint Stats. Coin World wins by a landslide.
...i get 'em both and like 'em both. BUT coin world comes faster thru the mail for some reason.

I agree!NN comes so inconsistently (sometimes 3 or more weeks after published date) ,I doubt if I'll renew my subscription this year.

<< <i>Numismatic News should have an electronic version option, like Coin World does. >>
...i asked NN about the electronic version possibly being implemented in the future and they said they really
didn't have any plans for that.

I figured, "Just show the results" would have worked for folks like you...Can't please everyone. Instead of having 417 publications posted as options along with a none of the above....I figured I would go after a comparison of just the two publications. I am sorry I did not do what YOU wanted. Next time I will be sure to consult all 31,246 members of these forums before posting my next poll so I will be sure to find out what everyone else wants....wait a minute....this is my poll....oh I get it now, I posted what I wanted....sorry about that.
I will go start a new thread that will suit the needs for everyone else.

<< <i>I get both, and voted that way, but I prefer Coin World. >>
I like the" Letters to the Editor" in both, however, NN, usually prints more than CW.
<< <i>You need to add a "Neither" option. >>
what he said.
<< <i>I get both, and voted that way, but I prefer Coin World. >>
I agree. However, I think Paul Green is an excellent writer and his articles in NN are worth the price of subscription.

I don't 'do' moderns, and am not a fan of any advertiser who uses nebulous grades (e.g., select uncirculated, premium quality) or hawks package deals
asserted to be quality coins but being sold at 50% of retail, etc., so there just isn't much left to read.
I have kept my CW subscription, but many of the complaints noted above apply to CW too.
Specialty journals, including internet ones like E-Sylum, offer more information of interest to me.

<< <i>I get both, but prefer Coin World. That preference is in relation to the overall pub. I have to say that I really enjoy the writings of Paul Green and Ginger Raspus(sp?).
>>
It's "Rapsus".
I wasn't aware she was writing for Numis News. I've seen some of her articles
at Numismaster however.
Numismatic News was superior to Coin World for many years.
I doubt that's still true so just looked at the results.

Same here.

I agree with both of you.
Of the two, I like CW better. However, I will not subscribe to it because they have large ads from some of the sleaziest, unethical dealers in the business.
