    ANNOUNING THE BEGINNING OF NEWBIE INSTITUTE!

    Coinmaster1 and I, vnickels, are launching a new group on CT dedicated to helping newbies advance into numismatics and to help them from making bad purchases and wasting time.
    We have carefully chosen 14 instructors who were waiting on right now to see if they will take part in he fun on Newbie Institute. This group is meant for experts, intermediates, and most importantly newbies. We are going to work hard with this group in sharing our knowledge base with you and and also will our fellow instructors when and if they take the position. Your instructors Matt and Alex are always on call by pm to answer questions.
    This group will truly bring even more knowledge out of the woodwork. If you have any questions, please pm coinmaster1 or vnickels. CT GET PREPARED TO GET HIT WITH KNOWLEDGE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE! Feedback and if you wanna sign up can be made by commenting on this thread.

    Thanks,
    Instructor Matt

    Are you going to make the numismatic credentials of the instructors public knowledge?

    Paul,

    I was asked to be an instructor, and while I will help them in any way I can, I explained that my knowledge is very limited. I hope that they asked you to help out. I don't want to mention the names of any others whom I think would be good candidates because it would be too presumptuous of me.
