<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikeellis, post: 539136, member: 17670&quot;]Hello All,</p><p>I am taking up your offer and would like to tell you more about myself.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am Mike Ellis and am running for the ANA Board of Governors this time around. Having become a collector in 1968, I have over 20 years experience as a professional numismatist and numismatic educator. I served 12 years as a board member and officer of CONECA; a total of six terms with the last eight years and 4 terms as President. An instructor for ANA Summer Seminars since 1996, I have given several Numismatic Theater presentations at ANA Anniversary Conventions and made many educational appearances at other shows and club meetings across the country. Currently, I am the Senior Grader and Variety Specialist for Dominion Grading Service (DGS) of Virginia Beach, Virginia. I am also an accomplished numismatic writer having penned a column for “Numismatic News,” served as editor of “Errorscope” and “Cherrypickers’ News,” edited “Cherrypickers’ Guide to Rare Die Varieties, 4th Edition, Volume I” for which I received an NLG Award, penned numerous articles for several numismatic publications, contributed to dozens of numismatic publications. For my efforts on behalf of collectors and dealers this life member of the ANA and CONECA has been awarded the ANA’s “Glenn Smedly Award” and CONECA’s highest honor, the “Dr. Lyndon King Award.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You can read a more extensive list of my hobby contributions on my &quot;about me&quot; page on eBay; user name mikelellis . Also, I encourage you to follow my election blog at <a href="http://www.mikeellisforanagovernor.blogspot.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mikeellisforanagovernor.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">www.mikeellisforanagovernor.blogspot.com</a> .</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Most importantly is the vital, mostly behind-the-scenes, part I played in the positive changes the ANA has made in the past couple of years. Feel free to ask any questions either here or on my blog site and I will do my best to answer them all.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thank you for your consideration!</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Mike Ellis[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
