I wonder if I'll get one the econd time around. I was quite surprised to see I got the first one. I like the interview with Stewart Blay, that was right up my alley.

I never even received the first issue (and I'm a platinum member). Oh well.

Bochiman

First issue, I got 2.
2nd issue, I got 1.

Sent copy of first and 2nd to a forum member. Quick reads, wasn't worth keeping to me, yet.

COINB0Y

Sent mine out for Slabbing at NGC - First Print Label

Swampboy

I'll vote for a brown wrapper.

Got vol 2 today and it had another interesting collector profile. Dr. Steven L. Duckor.
I also enjoyed reading about the "CoinFacts Rarity Scale".

Then again, I'm a newbie and it's all interesting to me.

I got my issue #2 Saturday

19Lyds

I got mine a couple days ago. The only thing that caught my eye was the article on the "King of the IKEs", the 1972 Type 2 coin.

Interesting with only a little bit of misinformation.

I'll keep it around just for that article.

TwoSides2aCoin

It's a magazine.
I enjoyed the read. Packed with knowledge in "short form".
From BJ Searls (Dr Duckor's collecting) , Mike Sargent (on counterfeiting), John Danreuther (special strikes), Jaime Hernandez (1972 type II Ike )...all wrote nice articles..., to an interview with Julian Liedman that I found interesting.

I didn't get the centerfold of Russ (speaking of "short form") . I am thanking God as you read this that PCGS removed it prior to mailing it to Nebraska where we have obscenity laws forbidding such activity.

etexmike

I received both issues.

They are quick reads but very good reads. I'll give it a .

Heh, I wonder if their comic book grading service might be interested in slabbing these, for giggles.

So far I only received the first issue, but our mail tends to lag other locations by a day or two, so I'll keep an eye out, particularly for the article about Dr. Duckor. The article on Stewart Blay and other articles I enjoyed in the premier issue. Unless I am mistaken, the majority of the information in the volume can be accessed through the PCGS website, but the print copy is nice in situations where you may not have access, such as at a coin show. It is also as fast as you can flip pages to find information, often faster than some internet connections.

The pricing and population information in the publication is an important resourse that contains data with tremendous power. The knowledge base is equivalent to the life experience of the top 100 numismatists all compiled into one neat volume and available to the masses. Now that's power to the people!

Still has not arrived. I really want to read the story about Steve Duckor.
