Learn about Chinese counterfeits, paper money grading in Denver
The
American Numismatic Association will offer a pair of informative,
useful two-day courses for collectors at the Spring National Money Show?,
May 10-12 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. One class helps
collectors recognize Chinese counterfeits of popular U.S. Coins, and the
other teaches paper money collectors how to grade their collections.
 When: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday, May 8-9
Where: Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center
Noted
counterfeit expert Dr. Gregory Dubay discusses one of the most pressing
issues in modern numismatics. Counterfeit coins and slabs made in China
are pouring into the U.S. marketplace in unprecedented numbers. Access
to Western technology means that the counterfeiters are able to produce
high-quality fakes. It is not against Chinese laws to make and sell
counterfeit coins dated prior to 1949.
In
this two-day seminar, Dubay shows students how to protect themselves by
becoming smart online consumers. He also teaches students how to spot
counterfeits and to use simple, inexpensive tools to authenticate their
coins.
When: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday, May 8-9
Where: Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center
 Instructor
Glen Jorde, a past Professional Currency Dealers Association president,
leads this hands-on seminar that focuses on introductory and
intermediate grading skills across a number of popular paper money
areas. There also will be opportunity for group discussion and
one-on-one instruction. Students are encouraged to bring up to 10 of
their own notes for grading, as well as a magnifying loupe.
Each course costs $198 for ANA members and $298 for non-members. ANA life members receive a $25 discount on each class.
