It costs a little over $1k per week for the class, room & meals (you can only do 1 week of you want) plus the cost of the flight. It is well worth it if you want to jump start your coin knowledge. I suggest taking the beginning grading class the first week and the Morgan dollar class the second week. The knowledge you will gain and the people you will meet and make friendships with including some of the top names in numismatics is invaluable[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
