I'm glad it was such a good experience for you, Guy. And it was nice to meet you, albeit at the very end of the week. I hope to see you again next...

I know that Joe & George did the tokens last year. I believe that was their first year. They have given out other things in years past but nothing...
This week at ANA Summer Seminar I took the 'Detection of Counterfeit and Altered US Coins' course. (This is the second time I have taken this...
Below are photos of a token attendees received at the banquet for ANA Summer Seminar Session I. The tokens are fresh off the dies of the Badger...
I'm afraid so. With early registration and Life Member discount ($50) one session is about $500 or so. (Don't quote me on that.) If you don't go...
