    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!

    Sounds great! Looking forward to it!

    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.

    Couldn't attribute the "coin"...

    I guess mine has been delayed...

    @lablover . I have nothing to do with this but maybe check your spam folder. Issuses of the Gobrecht Journal and other pdf files keep getting sent there no matter what i do. hope you get your copy. James

    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.

    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!
