<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tradernick, post: 2384866, member: 648&quot;]I know a couple of people that worked at Heritage for a summer.&nbsp; Good way to not only learn about the business, but a chance to see some high-powered stuff.&nbsp; Interning at a local coin shop these days is a good lesson in grading, marketing, buying, selling, inventory management, ebay, social media, and dealing with people.&nbsp; But many coin dealers are reluctant to accept interns/apprentices, even when free.&nbsp; </p><p>For a young person interested in looking at numismatics as a career, I&#039;d suggest attending local shops and shows so that you can get to know several different people within the trade.&nbsp; Keep in contact with everyone you know and keep your ears open for any opportunity.&nbsp; ASK local dealers if they&#039;d consider hiring you and what qualifications they&#039;d require.&nbsp; The ANA summer courses are great and would be a huge plus in my mind when considering a new employee.&nbsp; Also, be willing to undergo a serious background check.&nbsp; Honesty and reputation are more important even than coin knowledge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
