For those who might be interested in attending the
ANA Summer Seminar this coming year, I have a very important announcement that just may help you in your decision to attend.
CONECA attributor James Wiles, PhD, and coppercoins.com owner/attributor Charles D. Daughtrey (yours truly) have proposed a new class to be taught for the first time in the summer of 2008.
The purpose of this class is for students to learn exactly what creates die varieties, how to look for them, and how to self-identify them when they are found. Dr. Wiles and Mr. Daughtrey will present a number of slide presentations that will help students learn how to be attributors, then will provide a number of unidentified die varieties and all the resources students will need to identify them properly.
There will be a cap on the number of students who can take this course - around a dozen. While plans are preliminary, details are sketchy, and exact class cirriculum remains undone, I thought it be important to let you folks know so you can go ahead and start considering time off, travel plans, and other necessary planning to make this trip possible. This is the first time the attributors of two different resources have paired together for a common cause - in teaching numismatists how to be attributors.
Please respond here if you think you might be able to attend so I can get some feedback on how many people we might need to make this class for...we do have some latitude in the maximum number of students we allow to attend.
