<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blissskr, post: 2173843, member: 34882&quot;]Visited this show today mainly for my girls (8, 6) to attend the YN program. The show is usually held twice a year in Spring and Fall. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]420080[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>We got there right before 10:30am, which was the start time for the YN program. The program for the parts I was able to see while in the conference room was very well done. Though I spent most my time chasing my toddler around the room and bringing him in the hall when he decided to start yelling. The focus of the program was wheat cents, the history of the coins and finally how to grade them. This was followed by doing some actual grading work of coins they put in 2x2&#039;s and cataloged with date, mint, and mintage. My youngest girl Leela is apparently a prodigy grader as she managed to get everyone correct with no prior experience grading coins. The program ran until about noon and they did many drawings and questions with prizes for the YN&#039;s. There was only maybe 15 YN in attendance so the ones that were their got quite a haul to take home with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]420081[/ATTACH] </p><p>After that we browsed the show while the girls bought some coins and were given many more by some of the friendly dealers whose tables we stopped at. When we returned home they began going through their stuff and organizing it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]420083[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]420082[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This special ANACS slab was also provided to each YN in attendance. I thought this was a very nice gesture as it provides a nice memento of their experience that&#039;s also easy to keep safe and identify where it was obtained from. Overall we had a very good time and it really reignited the interest my girls show for the hobby. They also provided a &#039;homework&#039; project for the kids who will return to the Fall shows YN program. Each child was wanted to participate was provided an empty cent coin tube with a specific date/mm. Their assignment is to fill the roll by searching pocket change or cent rolls and they can turn it in for an award at the next shows program.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]420084[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
