Customer Rating: Summary: an essential publication Comment: It is hard to decide where to start. I have been reading (and occasionaly writing for) Coin World for something over forty years. The main focus of CW is United States coins. Therefore it is less essential if you are interested in exclusively or primarily in world material or medals/tokens. Still you will find information on this type of material too. Customer Rating: Summary: The BEST...period! Comment: This publication covers it all then some. World currency to US cents and then some; this one is the one to subscribe to first! Customer Rating: Summary: Info you can't find other places Comment: I agree with "Pigeons" review. This was not as expensive for me as I got a "bundled" package of CoinValues, CoinWorld, both 1 year subscriptions (12 issues, 52 issues respectively). And with CoinWorlds weekly paper you are kept VERY up-to-date on goings on in the numismatic community. I got the both for around $41.
