I don't think it would ever be a college that would make it off the ground...
I agree. Universities may offer a major in numismatics, but I do not see there ever being a university devoted to numismatics.

Sometimes Liberal Arts Colleges used to have programs that permit the student to design their own program for a degree with the approval of their advisers. That was how Donald Kagin and Jonathan Kern got their degrees (PhD and BA respectively) in Numismatics. They are the only two people I know of in the US with college degrees in Numismatics. There used to be a few universities in Europe that offered numismatic degrees but I don't know if any still do.

I am currently a student at the Carson City Institute for applied Numismatics, class of 2090.

And I was wandering how do get a job for a grading company?


That's easy. Spend at least a decade working for a major dealer in positions of increasing responsibility, until they trust you to grade and make accurate offers to buy/sell raw coins whose value exceeds $10,000. In any category of US coinage. Or, establish and build your own company and grow it into that class of dealership. In essence, your best bet to become a professional grader is to become someone whose name is already known in numismatics first.

Or, move either to California of Florida, talk your way into a mailroom or administrative position, and spend the next decade-plus working your way up from the inside.

Is the ANA Certificate of Numismatic worth it? Has anyone here done it? Or can you get the same education by just reading the books they have on their reading list?
