Summer Seminar students, ranging from teens to senior citizens, spend 25 hours taking one course with a small group of fellow
numismatists. Students can learn about specific coins or notes, money’s impact in specific historical periods as well as the hobby’s
technical or business aspects.
There are courses for new collectors, such as “Adventures in Numismatics and the Sights of Colorado
Springs” and for seasoned pros, such as “Advanced United States Coin Grading and Problem
Coins.” The Coins in the
Classroom course shows teachers how to incorporate coins into lessons in social studies, math and other subjects. Other courses, such as Intaglio
Engraving and Art of Engraving, are two-year courses that concentrate on traditional artistic money-design techniques.
Mini-seminars allow Seminar students to study more than one area of interest or survey something completely new in two to four
three-hour sessions. These are listed in our Courses At-A-Glance.
Often, summer seminar students share the areas of their expertise during less formal evening talks. Evening Talk Proposal
But Summer Seminar isn’t all work, no play. There are plenty of opportunities to explore Colorado attractions –
optional tours include a cog railway ride up Pikes Peak to a private tour of the Denver Mint to a Major League Baseball game.
Don’t forget the Colorado Springs Coin Show, YN Benefit Auctions, lots of great food, gala closing events and daily
opportunities to
visit the ANA Edward C. Rochette Money Museum and Dwight N. Manley Numismatic Library.
