NLG names Guth executive director

Ron Guth

Ron Guth takes charge of the Numismatic Literary Guild Sept. 1.

He succeeds Donn Pearlman, who served as interim executive director since the death of Ed Reiter in August 2017.

The NLG board of directors unanimously approved Guth’s appointment.

He 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).

Guth is a Certified Public Accountant and has expertise in U.S. and world coins. He 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.”

Pearlman used his time to lead a reform to streamline and update the annual awards competition categories “to bring them into the 21st century,” he said.

“It has been an honor to serve the NLG during the past year’s transition period. The NLG board members and I are grateful that Ron has accepted this important role in helping to promote numismatic education,” Pearlman added.

Established in 1968 originally to recognize and encourage outstanding newspaper and magazine writing about the hobby, the Numismatic Literary Guild has evolved into a nonprofit organization composed of hobby writers, editors, reporters, bloggers and content producers. It conducts an annual educational symposium and an awards dinner, “The Bash,” each summer in conjunction with the American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money®.

Letters to the Editor: Nov. 12, 2019

War in the Pacific ‘W’ Mintmark I was in the self-checkout at Walmart four weeks ago here in Mt. Vernon, Ill., and received a little bit of loose change for my purchase. I didn’t check it until I got home and was very surprised to find a War in the Pacific with a “W” mintmark. I’m just wondering if it’s something that I should send in to one of the grading companies. In other words, would it be worth more later on by doing so? I understand that it’ll cost at least   $30.00 to do so and also heard that “in the raw” is only worth maybe $25. I   hope to hear a reply. Name and address withheld   In Response to Richard Giedroyc’s Commentary I politely disagree with erudite and longtime numismatic colleague, Richard Giedroyc, whose Numismatic News story, “Get Rich” Promotion Wrong Angle for Healthy Market Growth,” was critical of a recent CNBC story entitled, “People have been making up to $100,000 off ‘coin hunting.’” He doesn’t think the hobby will benefit with an a...
