ANA Offering US Coin Grading Classes at 2006 NH Coin Expo

EBW Promotions, LLC in conjunction with The New England Numsmatic Association (NENA) is pleased to announce that the ANA traveling seminar series of education will once again be attending the 2006 New Hampshire Coin & Currency Expo.

This year's class is Intermediate Grading of US Coins. This highly enriched 2 day seminar will start on Wednesday, September 27, 2006, at the host hotel in Bedford (Manchester) New Hampshire.

These classes are a great way to learn with out having to go to Colorado Springs. Many members here have attended this class 2 years ago when it was first offered.

If you are close to the New England area (New York and New Jersey too!), then you should look into attending. Manchester NH is about 50 miles North of Boston, MA.

For more information, visit the ANA's Web Site and download a Registration Form

After the class, take another day and attend the show. We have a SOLD OUT bourse of over 60 dealers attending from all 6 New England states as well as New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Minnesota!

    Anyone attending the show should look into taking one of the seminars offered. It's been nothing but a positive experience for me, and a great way to meet some good people.

    I would love to attend the seminar, but the midweek schedule conflicts with employment in a big way. Ever thought about making this a weekend seminar?

    I won't be at the seminar, but look forward to the bourse on Friday.
  • Just a reminder that you need to call in this week if you would like to attend the ANA seminar (see information in my first post). The class instructor is Dr. Lane Brunner.

    Also, since I have your attention, our Saturday agenda is finalized. Make a weekend out of it! Attend the bourse on Friday, take a room at the hotel ($79 a night) and enjoy the scenery and fall foliage, and then attend the presentations and bourse on Saturday.

Examples and exhibits abound.
