Join us at

SUMMER SEMINARJoin us as we celebrate the 46th Annual

American Numismatic Association Summer Seminar, held on the campus of Colorado Collegein beautiful Colorado Springs, Colorado, adjacentto ANA headquarters.

Each year we ask, how can we improve Sum-mer Seminar? Members responded with valuableinformation and we take member feedback seri-ously. Here are some of the things members askedfor and what we’ve done as a result:

MAKE THE PROGRAM FINANCIALLY SOUND AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL MEMBERS.

Members agree that Summer Seminar is the best educational experience in numismatics. So, they’ve asked us to safeguard this incredible program forfuture generations by ensuring it is financially self-sufficient. At the same timemembers asked us to keep it affordable and accessible to all members regard-less of age or financial resources. This is a tall order and how we’ve achieved itis two-fold. To reach financial self-sufficiency, we’ve streamlined the scheduleto reduce expenses and adjusted registration fees to cover seminar costs. Tomake the seminar accessible to more members we created the Robert LecceAdvanced Scholarship program. Scholarships are merit-based but they alsotake financial resources into account. This is very exciting because it meansseminar donations will fund scholarships and financial assistance instead ofbeing used to cover seminar expenses. If you’d like to contribute to the RobertLecce Advanced Scholarship program, complete the donation section of theregistration form located on page 15.

BRING BACK THE DENVER MINT TOUR.When the U.S. Mint in Denver adopted a 4-day work week, we could no

longer offer the Friday tour to the Mint. With the new streamlined schedulewe can once again offer the Denver Mint tour, which is scheduled on Thursday,June 26, this year. For tour information, see page 16.

GET US HOME BEFORE JULY 4TH.Many years ago, when the Summer Seminar expanded its sessions, the

program dates began crossing over the July 4th holiday. With the streamlinedseminar schedule, Session 2 participants will now depart on July 3rd. This willallow members to attend seminar and spend Independence Day with familyand friends. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the schedule locatedon pages 8 and 9.

You asked, we listened — and it turns out what you wanted resonates withour goals for the coming year: expand and promote knowledge of numismat-ics, provide exceptional member service and ensure our long-term sustainabil-ity. It’s all part of A New Approach and it feels good to be on the same page.

Regardless of your numismatic interests, we are confident that our classes,instructors, events and academic environment will further your enjoyment andexcitement for our magnificent hobby. Please join us for the numismatic edu-cation experience of a lifetime!

Summer Seminar is a once-a-yearopportunity for numismaticscholarship and camaraderie

that offers students a varied selectionof weeklong courses designed for dis-covery or continued study. For manystudents, Summer Seminar is a life-changing event; it has catapulted thecareers of many of the nation’s mostrespected collectors, authors anddealers.

Now celebrating its 46th year,Summer Seminar again features alineup of classes to suitvirtually every collec-tor’s hobby needs.Whether your interest isancients, paper money,medals or Indian headcents, there’s a class foryou. Want to learn tograde coins, detectcounterfeits or under-stand intaglio engrav-ing? There’s a class foryou. Want to learn digi-tal photography or be-come an expert in security for your collec-tion and personal pro-tection? There’s a classfor you. Most impor-tantly, everyone attend-ing Summer Seminar shares a commontrait: a passion for numismatics.

Your classes are true seminars:students gathered in small groups witheveryone an active participant. You’lllearn from instructors who are recog-nized leaders in their fields, and fromthe collective experiences of fellowstudents, who range in age fromteenagers to seniors.

While the majority of students areadults, more than 40 young numisma-tists — ages 13-17 — grace SummerSeminar each year, bringing youthfulenthusiasm and new perspectives toclasses. Over the years, many of these

YNs have become hobby leaders, andmany of Summer Seminar’s veteranshave played a key role in encouragingtheir success.

YNs stay in a Colorado Collegedormitory with counselor supervision.During the week, YNs have the sameopportunities as adult students. Theyattend class during the day and cantake mini-seminars or tours in theevening. YNs also organize and con-duct a benefit auction, with all pro-ceeds directly benefiting the YN Sum-

mer Seminar Scholarship Fund, whichhelps dozens of YNs attend the besteducational event in numismaticsevery year.

Students may select from a varietyof tuition and lodging options to meettheir needs, preferences and budget.Most stay in Colorado College campusdorms, but many elect to stay innearby hotels and inns (see pages 14and 15 for details and pricing).

Summer Seminar is packed withactivities and learning opportunitiesduring the evening after regularclasses. Mini-seminars offer a chancefor students to take one- or two-day

evening classes in addition to theirdaytime seminars; bull sessions aremore informal gatherings built arounda specific topic or presentation. Laterin the evening, the “Lunar Lounge”provides an opportunity for im-promptu gatherings featuring wide-ranging conversations and, occasion-ally, spontaneous guitar picking andother music.

Optional tours, special events,great food, receptions and banquets,and daily opportunities to visit the

ANA’s Edward C. Ro-chette Money Museumand Dwight N. ManleyNumismatic Libraryround out a perfect weekof numismatic immer-sion. Students may se-lect from a variety of ac-tivities ranging fromtaking a tour of theDenver Mint, attendinga Colorado Rockiesbaseball game, ascend-ing Pikes Peak on theCog Railway, or attend-ing the annual ColoradoSprings Coin Show. (Seepage 16 for tour details.)

Those not wishing tojoin an organized activ-

ity may also choose to visit any of thehundreds of great attractions, restau-rants and entertainment venues of Col-orado Springs and the Pikes Peak re-gion. It’s no accident this region is oneof America’s most popular familytourist destinations.

Rarely do students or instructorsattend just one Summer Seminar.More than 70 percent of them comeback time and time again for the edu-cation, friendships and camaraderie.There are reasons our students and in-structors are so loyal and enthusiasticabout Summer Seminar.

Try it and see.
