Twenty-four issues total. Duplicated typescript, as issued, printed on 8.5 by 14 inch paper. The initial sheet of each issue is generally on official letterhead, printed in red and black. Some issues are holed at top for an official binder. Page edges occasionally a bit worn at edges; once folded for mailing. Very good or so. A good group of this very rare publication, whose modest format led to few copies being saved for posterity. Guttag's Coin Bulletin provides an interesting and informative view of the buoyant state of coin collecting in the United States prior to the Great Depression, and is a source of insight into its personalities and organized activities. Beginning with Volume VI, the Bulletin was published in a more conventional octavo format, and copies of that and the final Volume VII are seen far more regularly. Ex Cardinal Collection Library.
