Ultimate Die Varieties: Learning to Attribute Lincoln Cents is the newest varities class to be offerred at the ANA Summer Seminar this June 27 through July 3, 2009 in beautiful Colorado Springs, CO.

This is a brand new class designed to develop future attributers by giving them access to the most respected researchers in the field and teaching them the techniques used to attribute all types of die varieties. The first year will focus on Lincoln Cents, but following years will rotate through the various denominations. So join us now to get in on the beginning and join us later for your specific series!

Learn how to attribute Lincoln Cent die varieties for yourself, by using the published materials and attribution techniques of two of the most renowned researchers in the series. The course covers the four major types of 20th century U.S. die varieties: design changes, mintmark styles, doubled dies, and repunched mintmarks. Discussions of each area include an explanation of origin, major identifying features, cataloging systems, and rarities for the “cherrypicker.” Two days of hands-on research make this course the ultimate die-variety learning experience!

Instructors: James Wiles, author of The Modern Minting Process and U.S. Minting Errors and Varieties: An ANA Correspondence Course; and Charles Daughtrey, author of Looking through Lincoln Cents: Chronology of a Series.

Contact the ANA at www.money.org (http://www.money.org/)to registar. Do it soon, before the class fills up!

We need 5-7 students for the class to make. Last year we had 3. So please sign up early and lets get this class off the ground.

I am excited for the prospect of this course going through this year. Last year didn't work out.

Dr. Wiles and I have prepared a LOT of information to share during this course, which includes hands-on examination of die varieties, and even some to take home for each student in the class!

Get in on this one while you can!
