Just noticed an interesting job posting (actually saw it via a Facebook ad, lol). https://home.eease.adp.com/recruit2/?id=1183401&t=1 If there are enough people interested, we could make posting coin collecting related jobs a regular thing.
Please post all coin related jobs. I've wanted in the business for years now, but I don't just want to be a bullion cold caller.
You've got to know a lot to start, though. I put in an application, I wouldn't mind another 10-20 hours of work a week, especially at the rate I asked for.
I get their newsletter each week and there are 10 - 15 different job openings posted every week. Most are in Dallas, but some are other places (NYC?). Here is their most recent list;
They didn't clarify. It's remote, though, meaning I guess you can work from anywhere. Can't hurt to apply, I could use more coin money and a discount on the auctions.
A cataloger of any sort would be a perfect job for me. I do that with all of my collections as it is, coins, music, movies. But I don't want to move to any of the cities thy're located in. Plus I'm sure I wouldn't have as much experience as they want. I'm sure there are many people on this forum that would be perfect for the job!
I would love to do this, but just turning 18, no expierence on working with coins, and having this as a first REAL job (I work for my dad doing computer stuff, this would be for an actual employer), I doubt I could even get the chance! Oh well.
This is the version of the ad that appeared in our email newsletter: Heritage Auctions is seeking a talented numismatist with broad expertise in U.S. coins to join our award-winning staff. If you have an extensive knowledge base of U.S. coins and have exceptional writing skills we have an opening as a remote cataloger. You can work with the most successful team of numismatists in the world. This is a contract position with periodic travel to Dallas required. An extensive numismatic library is highly recommended. Duties will include cataloging, evaluating and attribution of U.S. coins, assisting with catalog production, and contributing numismatic articles for newsletters and other publications. == To answer a couple of questions, this is a remote position, but we would want you to travel to Dallas for full-time work during crunch times, such as when the FUN auction catalog is being prepared. We have one cataloger that works this way already. We highly recommend an extensive coin library largely because this is a remote position. Many coins require research -- sometimes cursory and sometimes very extensive. We have a very good library on site, not even taking into account what Mark Borckardt or Mark Van Winkle can recall off the tops of their respective heads , but the more you can do from your home the more valuable you will be as a remote cataloger. Previous professional numismatic experience is not required, but you do need to have both knowledge of US coins and the ability to write well. Take a look at some of the catalog descriptions of US coins in our Signature auctions for examples of what you might be required to write. If you have any questions, just email me at edited - SPAM protection or drop me a PM. I'm quite familiar with the requirements.
