Anyone taken the ANA correspondence course? If yes, feel like sharing your opinions of it? Looks very interesting and a good way for me to geek out on coins while I'm away. Also, reading older posts it sounds like the ANA is a good organization for me to join. If anyone would like to share their thoughts about membership in the ANA, I'd be happy to "hear" them. Thanks!
I took the beginners and intermediate courses in the 70's and the grading, error and counterfeit detection courses in the 90's. I liked all of them but there was no internet for me either when I took them. In the 70's no one even believed in such things as a personal computer or Internet. They believed Milton Berle was actually funny. I left the ANA with the Walter episode. I hear he's the president now. Good fot him!
Walter Ostromcki. Rather long story. http://www.numismaticnews.net/article/ana_board_fires_cipoletti Oh yeah, he's ANA vice prez not prez.
Jwt - there are many different ANA courses. And while taking the correspondence version is not as good as taking them in person - it is far, far better than not taking them at all. Take the courses, you'll be glad you did
Thanks GDJMSP. Would much rather take them in person, but I'm thinking of taking them next year, while I'm away from my family.
