2018 NUMISMATIC LITERARY GUILD AWARDS

The Numismatic Literary Guild (NLG) is a separate organization from ours, the Numismatic Bibliomania Society (NBS). But we share a love of the numismatic hobby and numismatic research and writing in particular. This NLG press release lists the NLG award winners for 2018, announced at last week's NLG Bash at the American Numismatic Association World's Fair of Money in Philadelphia. Congratulations to all of the winners. -Editor

This year marked NLG's 50th anniversary.

For information about the NLG, visit www.NLGonline.org. A membership application is available online at www.nlgonline.org/NLG_Member_Form.pdf. To be eligible for consideration in any of the 2018 Numismatic Literary Guild award categories, entries must have been published, released, or posted on the Internet between May 1, 2017 and April 30, 2018.

NLG also announced their new Executive Director this week. Congratulations and good luck to Ron Guth, a longtime E-Sylum reader and contributor. -Editor

Ron Guth The Numismatic Literary Guild (www.NLGonline.org) Board of Directors unanimously approved the appointment of Ron Guth of San Diego, California to be the NLG Executive Director starting September 1, 2018. He succeeds Donn Pearlman of Las Vegas, Nevada who agreed to serve in that role for a year following the August 2017 passing of long-time NLG Executive Director Ed Reiter.

Guth is an award-winning author and researcher whose works include “Coin Collecting For Dummies”, “The 100 Greatest Women on Coins,” and the “Encyclopedia of United States Gold Coins 1795-1933” (co-authored with Jeff Garrett).

A Certified Public Accountant, Guth has expertise in U.S. and world coins, operates GermanCoins.com and is a former President of Professional Coin Grading Service and PCGSCoinFacts.com.

“For decades, the NLG has been the biggest supporter of numismatic writers, giving them the recognition they deserve for what is often a labor of love,” said Guth. “I look forward to continuing the NLG’s record of service and to preserve, build, and expand the NLG so that every numismatic writer will have the opportunity to hone their craft in a supportive environment.”
