Elongated coin people were among the most important early leaders of the Numismatic Literary Guild, NLG. Think Lee Martin and Dottie Dow,"Yesterday's Elongateds."

Sally provided a whole series of elongateds for the NLG Bash in the 1980s, doing the actual rolling herself. This was muscle-building labor! Shewas a remarkable woman, remembered by NLG with fondness.
