It was just announced a couple of days ago that my book, United States Classic Gold Coins of 1834-1839 was recognized by the Numismatic Literary Guild as the 2020 Book Of The Year, the highest honor that they bestow.
This is an absolute thrill and honor to be recognized in this way by the NLG. I am also humbled, and yet relieved, that my freshman effort, ten years in the making, has been well received by these numismatic authors that I have always admired.
And it is a little bit out of character for me, but I feel like crowing a little bit right now.
Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

No disrespect intended but how many numismatics books were published in 2020?
I don't know. You can ask the NLG, but I'd guess over 100.
Congratulations! That is quite an honor.
Great work! I've been meaning to pick one of those up. Congratulations Daryl.
Even if there was just one, they gave you the honor. Congrats to you and your hard work paying off!
Speaking as one of the judges, there were several very strong contenders this year.
That’s awesome, congratulations!
Congratulations !

Congratulations! Sometimes a person's gotta get out there and crow a little bit.
That should tell us all that your honor is well deserved.
I’m enjoying my copy and while it’s not a cliffhanger it’s packed full of info and great pics. Very well done and very well deserved. Congrats!

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Congratulations.
Well done!
You should be proud. 10 years of commitment with this outcome is an achievement! Bravo!

You now join a group of remarkable authors who have gained the honors previously. That's damn fine company to keep!
Well deserved! It's a great reference. Thank you for putting 10 years into it!

i think my first post on this forum was about classic head gold. being familiar with the serious and it being one of my favorites, i will say thank you and kudos for this book. with such a short series, even for 2 denoms, for a book to be that thick, it must really pack a punch. hope to get to see a copy one day.

Congratulations Daryl, well deserved!
I know it was a long endeavor to include the great research of John McCloskey, while breaking ground on new research of coins, Mint archives, government correspondence, and the people involved with Classic Head Gold. Well done!
I got my copy earlier this. I’m really enjoying it.
Congrats on the award!
