The American Numismatic Association (ANA) has released its catalog of courses that will be available this summer at its annual Summer Seminar series in Colorado Springs in Colorado. These week long seminars are offered for two weeks beginning at the end of June. I attend in the summer of 2010 and it is an experience that I will never forget. I honed my grading skills by learning to grade from professional graders from PCGS and NGC. I ate meals with Cliff Mishler (ANA president), Kenneth Bressett (editor of the Red Book), Bill Fivaz (author of the Cherrypicker's Guide) and many others. If you're a beginner and looking to dive deeper into coin collecting or an advanced collector looking to specialize on a topic, you will find something that will interest you. Check out the catalog and see what interests you.

James,
This information is a gold mine. I especially like the Color Report on Copper Coins. I just purchased an early cent advertised as Red Brown and it is exactly as you described. Please, I would like to request that you and About.com consider putting all this great information in a book so I don’t have to keep Book Marking your articles on my computer. In a book all these excellent articles will be permanently referenced. I know books are considered pass’e in today’s world, but as an IT Professional, I also know that computers have problems and data is lost, books are always around and you can write notes in the margins!
Best wishes,
Robert DeBonis
