Has anyone received the new Coin World with the new look/format?

I have not received an issue of Coin World in about two weeks (I know, it's the post office's fault). I am jones-ing for those edge-of-your-seat letters to the editor, as well as the always relevant and insightful editorials. I know that the new and improved format for CW will start in November, but I have not received it yet. Has anyone received the paper in the new format? If so, what do you think of it?

  • The last issue I received looked like it had been trimmed with a chain saw. Is this the new format you're referring to?

    Why? What was wrong with the old format? Sounds like fixing something that ain't broken.

    They sent a mock-up of the new style using text from a recent issue to their columnists and major advertisers. I'm shocked I haven't seen one of those previews on eBay yet.

    It looks great -- I think it will be viewed as a positive change.

    Except now I have to go get a color photo taken of myself ... which means I actually have to shave today image

    I like the idea of modernizing the weekly periodical, just like I prefer a refrigerator rather than an icebox.

    John K. –

    Real entrepreneurs do not shave (unless they want to).

    Gee...next thing you know my next Supreme Court brief for an Amicus Curiae in support of the plaintiff will be on 6-1/2 x9-1/2 paper (!) with a blue (!) cover.

    Ha! I'm Italian and Croatian. I've been shaving since I was 10.

    Which is a year later than my sister.

    Kidding!

    Maybe you anti-establishment types think my new Coin World column photo should be one from when I was a collegiate dirty-footed hippie.

    I think we can probably expect the price to increase in the near future.....

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
