New experiment...hope you like it.
At the Long Beach, Saturday, Feb 9, we will be presenting the first PCGS Grading Class. We call it Grading 101 and we'll concentrate on mint state and circulated coins. Class is 10:00 to approximately 3:00 and includes a grading test. Also includes lunch with instructors. And the instructors are Ron Guth, Mike Sherman, and David Hall.
If it works, we'll do Grading 102 and 103 later this year. We're charging a little to keep out the non-serious riff-raft. It's $199 for the public, $149 for Gold, Platinum, and Diamond Collectors Club members.
We're limiting it to 20 people and it's already over half full.
If you'll be at Long Beach and want to get some grading instruction from the pros, email PCGS Customer Service at info@pcgs.com

Now that I'm in Idaho I just can't make it work.
Wished I was going out there.

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......
I'm in Vegas that weekend watching the grandkids compete but the next time you offer 101 I'd certainly plan for it hrh.

Kudos, PCGS.
Hey lunch with Warren Buffett...once a year auction...is only $3.4 million. I'm no Buffett, but isn't $199 cheap?
The Warren Buffett lunch charity auction started many years ago and the first one was probably a bargain for only $25,000. Free admission to any PCGS grading class for whoever can name the first winning bidder at $25,000 in the Warren Buffett lunch auction.

Great idea.
Maybe in the future you could also conduct a mini version of this grading class for one hour and only throw in milk and cookies?
As you know, we are so pressed for time at these shows that it is difficult for you as well as us to break away from the bourse floor?

...I Tried for almost 2 hours to dig up the first winners name as I REALLY WANT TO TAKE YOUR COURSE! I live in San Diego, and I am also a PCGS member (for 2 years now).
