    The ANA has courses or at least they used to. If
    they can get a free moment from defending
    lawsuits they could even put them on-line some
    day.

    That's unfortunate. The dealers and old
    timers have lots-o-secrets that you'll
    never get from books.

    Just curious because I don't know much about the ANA, but why do they have a lot of lawsuits against them?

    They don't seem to do well with common
    sense or things requiring more foresight
    than Mr. Magoo.

    But hey, they should have enough court papers to
    build the Mr. Magoo documents wing to the museum.

    Pretty sure you do have to belong to the ANA to take the correspondence courses. I'd highly recommend them for beginners.

    But you can learn a lot right here bruiser, all ya have to do is read and ask questions. And I help teach people all the time, privately by email and away from the forum. And my help is always free ;)

    You can also learn a lot by reading books, its kinda like taking a class, if you become an ANA member you can rent books from their library, 128,000 to choose from, just pay postage.

    What drives me nuts is when something looks DDO until I take a picture of it then I don't see it anymore and trying to find a wide AM penny I've been through lots of pennies and nothing lol
