<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan_(), post: 2103387, member: 70832&quot;]Here&#039;s my idea for an online ancient coin class:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The class is divided into 10 to 8 sections. There&#039;s no time limit for completion of the class. At the beginning of the course students receive a list of useful websites for references for the course. The 1st sections, 1-2, go over the history of ancient coinage - how it began and how it spread through out the world - and what metals were used at the start of coinage. After the introduction of the class, Roman, Greek, Ottoman, and other ancient coinage is discussed, with videos and high quality (AJ quality) pictures depicting different types of coins, how they were minted, where they were minted, what portraits/details were on the coins, etc. Throughout the class, major issues that are in high demand from each field are discussed. One or two sections devoted to the different denominations that the coins were minted in, and how to tell them apart, are offered closer to the end of the class. At the conclusion of the course is a test that the student takes. He/she is tested on the basic knowledge of coin collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; During the course, online live sections from the class are offered. The live sessions include guest speakers: TIF, JA, AJ, Steve, Bing, Eng, Vlaha, Mat, ancientnut, Randy(geki), Okidoki, Pish(Pash), the mighty Doug, maridvnvm, medoraman, Ancientnoob (if I missed anyone plz tell me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />), and other experts in the field. In these live sessions, the guest speakers talk about what they like to collect, what they look for on a coin, and discuss/answer questions with the students.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The class coordinators organize groups at big coins shows like FUN and the ANA Money conventions. This is an excellent learning experience for the beginners - they can meet with &quot;ancient&quot; coiners in person at these shows to talk about or show off their collections with other people.</p><p><br /></p><p>Note: will edit in future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
