SALLY KIRKA'S NUMISMATIC LITERARY GUILD ELONGATED COINS

Elongated coin people were among the most important early leaders of the Numismatic Literary Guild, NLG. Think Lee Martin and Dottie Dow, "Yesterday's Elongateds."

Sally provided a whole series of elongateds for the NLG Bash in the 1980s, doing the actual rolling herself. This was muscle-building labor! She was a remarkable woman, remembered by NLG with fondness.
