Vote Here: Do you also look forward to ANR's Numismatic Sun?

Of all the coin periodicals, emails, market reports, and numismatic articles that i receive, I look forward most to receiving the Numismatic Sun. I just read a fascinating article co-written by our own "Pistareen" on the Morris collection, one of the earliest US coin collections and his collection of Continental currency, which has remained intact 150 years after his death. There is always great stuff in this ANR periodical. (I will have to buy a coin soon to stay on the active list ).

I think it is a great publication as well. The articles are well written and have more of a historical angle to them (besides being entirely numismatic). It is incredible how much QDB writes (although for the Sun, it seems the larger articles are sometimes written by others). I keep all of the issues, rather than throwing them away which is what I do with some other similar publications that I receive.

I would categorize it as a fun little read, though it and its predecessor the Rare Coin Review are staring obsolecense in the face in this internet era.

Every coin in there is old news by the time snail-mail arrives.

I dig the folksy charm though, to a point.

It worked a lot better at the old B&M where there was a pretty large trade in 20th century material - inventory doesn't go "out of date" as fast with those kind of coins. Same for the huge book listing they used to have under the B&M banner. Dealing in "classic" coins doesn't much work so much with a house organ that only gets published every couple months. The articles remain as good as ever, of course.

Frankly, I could not care less about the inventory listing. It would not appeal to anyone that participates here, but I guess a lot of collectors are still not internet savvy and have to wait for stale coin offerings by mail. I still get inventory lists by mail from several coin firms.

The creative, historic, and numismatic content in the Numismatic Sun is what I look forward to receiving.

Do they give free flips?
