The Colonial Newsletter, Gary Trudgen, Editor
The Colonial Newsletter (CNL) is a research journal dedicated to the study of early American numismatics. Founded in 1960, CNL has continuously published some of the most scholarly and seminal studies in this area of numismatics. Focusing on the study of the coinages produced by the states during the Confederation period of the United States, CNL also investigates a variety of other specie that our forefathers used in their daily lives. Anyone with an interest in early America and its struggle to establish a new nation will find something of value in this publication. CNL is published three times a year in April, August, and December.
