Worldwide Coins magazine

Kurt4

Subscribed July 8 and have not received an issue yet. Sent an e-mail and figured I'd check the digital edition until things get sorted out. Can't find the digital edition. Also there is no real homepage I can find. Just the Coin world homepage with no link for Worldwide Coins. Am I just missing it? If anybody else can find it can you put up a link? Thanks.

On the right there is a vertical banner that talks about digital access. Talks about access to Worldwide Coins... if you click it it goes here:

Hope this helps...

Thanks Todd. I was able to find it. I was looking under the "Publications" dropdown. If I sign in I can find it. Looks like I was missing it in plain sight. Thanks again.

I believe the magazine is being discontinued as a standalone, and will be converted into a supplement to Coin World.

"These changes [adding a World Coins section to Coin World and discontinuing WorldWide Coins Magazine] will allow us to do two important things: Reach more people and be more timely, both with information and advertising," said Steve Collins, Amos Hobby Publishing vice president of operations. (Coin World, 30 November 2009.)

Wasn't the purpose of having WorldWide Coins as a separate magazine to reach more people (on newsstands) in the first place?

This is marketing-speak for "the magazine is a flop and we cannot get enough subscribers and advertising to keep it going" or "retailers will not give us valuable rack space so we can sell the darn thing."

Thanks for the info folks. That stinks. I really enjoyed the magazine. I have no interest in Coin World. I really don't want to read about state quarter errors month after month.

Oh no, say it ain't so! I subscribed in the summer and I have recieved two issues. I hope Amos doesn't plan on keeping my money for the remaining issues without sending me something in return.

It was a solid magazine, not perfect and it always left me wanting more...IE, it read far too quickly...but I enjoyed every issue I got.
