<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RiverGuy, post: 838549, member: 22755&quot;]Whoa,&nbsp; hold on a second, pull on the reins.&nbsp; When I started this thread I freely admitted that the experience showed I had more to learn.&nbsp; How did we/you learn to grade? Read books, probably; look at thousands of coins, probably; look at pictures and grading sets, probably; talk to people who knew more(dealers and club members), probably. Now the kicker, did you put your money where your mouth is, probably not.&nbsp; When I enrolled in the ANA summerschool for the grading course I asked CT if anyone could share their own or friends experience with that formal training.&nbsp; I got zero responses.&nbsp; The course encompasses 34 hours of in-class instruction plus 4 evenings of informal conversation.&nbsp; I talked to Susan and her assistant Emily at the ANA yesterday(they administer the school) and there are still a couple of openings in the 2nd session.&nbsp; At $923 for tuition, room, and board I can&#039;t imagine a better numismatic expense for ALL of us.&nbsp; I still don&#039;t have a roommate, hope to see you there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
