“The Evolution of U.S. Coin Grading and the Literature Which Helped Advance That Grading Evolution”

Bob Bair has been involved in numismatics since 1956, first as a collector, then as a coin dealer. As a boy growing up in northwestern Wisconsin in the 1950s, he began saving coins which he received from his paper route, and a life-long passion was born! He earned his Master’s Degrees in U. S. History (1970) and Educational Administration (1994) in advancing his educational career as a teacher, coach, and school principal. He retired from education in 2010, but continues to research, write, and present on numismatic topics locally, regionally, and nationally.

“Women in Numismatics — Changes Throughout the Years”

Bio: Jenise Borrasso is a relative newcomer to Numismatics and a current student of the ANA’s Numismatic Scholar Diploma Program. She began her adventures when her father gave her 5 extra-large coffee cans full of unsearched and mixed year wheat cents. After many months of sorting and separating each cent, her passion began.

Since then, she has contributed three Numsimatalks webinars on the History of the Lincoln Cent, the Jefferson Nickel, and the Roosevelt Dime and three articles with audio recording for the ANA’s  Reading Room  on money.org. As a Woman in Numismatics, she’s proud and excited to take you on the journey of the changes in the last 100 years and the growing involvement of Women in the Numismatic field.
