Newman Portal Adds Southern Gold Society (SGS) Newsletter

Courtesy of David Crenshaw, the newsletters of the Southern Gold Society are now available on Newman Portal. This mission statement of this group notes "The Southern Gold Society was formed to increase the enjoyment and study of Southern gold coins and related history, through an informal, relaxed mix of education and fellowship. " The SGS periodically meets at regional coin shows, typically in a southern locale.

Particularly noteworthy in this periodical are the feature articles by David Ginsburg, including "Antebellum Gold Deposits at the New Orleans Mint" in the January 2009 issue, "The Post-Civil War Operations of the New Orleans Mint" in the January 2010 issue, and "The Bechtlers' Production and Some Other Aspects of the Southern Gold Rush" in the July 2013 issue.
