Last two volumes possibly also complete. A September 1991 mailing is also present, which may or may not be complete. Many issues punched for inclusion in a binder. Three issues in Volume VI have attached elongated coins or wooden nickels, as issued. Lot also includes the June 1968 membership roster and by-laws and a copy of the 25-Year History of the NLG written by David Alexander. Generally very good or better. Founded in 1968 as an organization for numismatic writers, the Numismatic Literary Guild remains an active organization today. Membership was initially kept rather small in number. Substantial runs of the NLG Newsletter are rarely offered, with the earlier issues being especially difficult to find. They serve as a chronicle of numismatic publishing in the U.S., particularly of numismatic journalism.
