<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1318877, member: 11521&quot;]To add to the excellent info given by RiverGuy, you must wait for the course catalog to be released in January. Then you will know which courses are being offered this year. The course schedule is not the same for both sessions nor is the course schedule the same from year to year. (Some courses are offered every year and others are only offered every few years because there simply is not enough demand to offer them every year.) </p><p><br /></p><p>Courses that are offered every year include Grading (Introduction, Intermediate and Advanced) and Counterfeit Detection. These are the most popular courses and they usually are the first to fill up. To help meet the demand ANA recently added a second Counterfeit Detection course so it is now offered both sessions instead of only one. (The instructors are not the same for the two sessions.) Last year ANA expanded the number of grading courses each session so you may see two Introduction to Grading courses in both sessions. </p><p><br /></p><p>You willl be in class from 9 AM until 4 PM every day with a 1 1/2-hour break for lunch. Five-day courses meet Sunday (afternoon only on Sunday) through Thursday. Two-day courses meet either Monday and Tuesday or Wednesday and Thursday. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can also sign up for mini-seminars that are offered every eveining. Some mini-seminars meet only once while others meet two nights. There is an additional fee for the mini-seminars. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are also numerous bull sessions where someone will share his or her knowledge with anyone who wishes to attend. Bull sessions are free and very informal. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mealtime is a great opportunity to meet and talk with other collectors from around the country and from around the world. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would recommend that you also attend the closing banquet on Thursday evening. The food will be outstanding, the entertainment will be good and you will get to put a lot of names and faces together when all the instructors for that session are recognized and given their certificates. A new tradition at the closing banquets is one person will be awarded an Honorary Doctor of Numismatics award and it will usually be a complete surprise for everyone. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most collectors that attend Summer Seminar will tell you that it was well worth it. A large percentage of attendees (well upwards of 50%) return to Summer Seminar. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope to see you there. I plan to attend both sessions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
