Home U.S. Coin Forum

is there a such thing as a coin grading seminar ?

Ive searched (very) casually for something like this, but haven't found anything.
I have the PCGS grading handbook, but there's no substitute for a live teacher.
(These forums are great, but again, live feeback rocks). I live on the PA/NJ border.

Edited Added:
I know it would be impossible to grade the finer points of specific coins, but general observations
and explanations of common terms/characteristics I think would be pretty cool...

maybe this could be tied into larger regional shows by some TPG or larger retailer.

Thanks

    There is an annual summer grading course run by the ANA in Colorado Springs.

    Here is an old thread from when Kranky took the course.

    You must take the time if you are to advance your numismatic career. I have to do a week in Colorado for the same reasons. It would be nice if Mark Feld, Julian, Russ, Rick from Eagle Eye, Anaconda, Laura, Braddick and all these walking encyclopedias would come on over ( I know , I left a thousand of you guys out, but you all know your skills), have a BBQ , party , sing and dance and teach me all they know, but it isn't gonna happen that way, mate image.... GO GO GO !

    I wish the ANA would come to Omaha, but I have to go to them image

    I'd do that NJ seminar if it were on a weekend. Unfortunately, it isn't...
