What is your opinion of Numismatic News? I've been a long time subscriber to Coin World and really like it.
Is Numismatic News worth the cost to you?

It may be that I am just lazy but I didn't really find more info that I usually find on this forum or other websites.
Plus, too many pages are just advertising. I understand that is still a source of info for a collector but it looked more like AM or Metro (which are free!) than a numismatics magazine.
It is nothing special, JMHO.

I'll second this.
My yearly is almost up and I will not be renewing. Between the lackluster articles and needless commentary from subscribers, I get no value from it.
The forums are a much more valuable resource.
<< <i>And don't bother with CoinValues either! Unless you need Richard Nachbar's vacation retirement phone number. >>
Just last night I read Richard's "well-known checkbook" will be at The Hawaii Show in October!
I've only heard good things about Richard but this was worth a laugh.

NN lost its luster a while back when the ownership changed hands.I plan to let it expire in Nov.

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
I give away money. I collect money.

<< <i>I like the price guide in NN. >>
Even the price guide could use some improvement.
Keeps ya up to date with things. I have a hard time keeping with the reading however.....
I favor NN myself and thought I'd say so since the trend seems to be running the other way.

Edited to ad: If it came between choosing to give up either NN or this forum, I'd choose to keep this forum if that tells you anything.
