    Nicely put together magazine. I thought PCGS had more than just one issue with @Insider though

    I'm sorry, but this disappoints me. It's furtherance of more glitz and less substance.

    The piece on Lincoln cents is nice and with the e-version, the photos blow up very nicely!

    Was AI used to "enhance" some of the cover photos and portraits? This may be just me, but I would much rather see the coin of the issue in its full glory than whatever this is.

    What if it was just photoshop? In the photography threads here, everyone swears by post processing.

    I guess mine has been delayed...

    Thanks for the advice, I checked spam and nothing there. But I also empty spam frequently so it may have been there, and I didn't know. Oh well...

    I rather like the cover image of this first issue of PCGS Insider.

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
    -Albert Einstein-

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

    I read the magazine I thought it was really well done. I like it as much as Coin World.

    Well I'm glad there is a thread for this debut issue...looks like a lukewarm review so far though, some not liking the photography, some not liking the articles, some enjoying the new publication...there was an error in my copy on page 43 with four banknotes all cutoff along the edge...I also found the printing/presentation interesting, not a real fan of white print on black or blue background (That was always a novelty when I was growing up, white ink and black paper!) I'd love to see more feedback in the magazine, letters to the editor, coin stories from readers, perhaps some choice conversations right from this very forum, and advertisements wouldn't be a bad thing either. Great start though...very fresh approach!
