Coin World now offers a free newsletter!

“Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Coin World Newsletter. Our goal is to have this monthly contain the same quality that has made Coin World the hobby’s leading news weekly for nearly 50 years.

The premiere issue of our newsletter is focused on some timely information for your safety – how to prevent the robbery and/or theft of your collection. However, if misfortune does strike, we have some sources you can turn to for help. For the history aficionado, there is a tale of a daring daytime robbery at a famous museum. Plus we reach back into our archive and spotlight some of the characters who have sought to rob the U.S. Mint of its treasure.

Finally, as more and more business is conducted online, we provide some insight on how to be successful when participating in online auctions.

If you enjoy this, please forward it to a friend. From all of us at Coin World, thank you!
