Summer Seminar is a once-a-year opportunity for numismatic learning and camaraderie that offers students an array of weeklong courses designed for discovery or continued study. For over 40 years, Summer Seminar has featured classes to suit virtually every collector’s hobby needs, including Detecting Counterfeit and Altered Coins, Grading United States Coins, Early American Copper Coinage, Digital Numismatic Photography, Morgan Silver Dollars, Coins of Colonial America, and much more.

“Through the generosity of members and funds raised by the YNs themselves, the ANA awards as many as 40 merit-based scholarships annually,” said Amber Bradish, the ANA’s seminar coordinator. “This is an excellent opportunity for highly motivated and intelligent adults and young adults to enhance their knowledge of numismatics.”

Scholarships are made possible through funding programs such as the Robert Lecce Advanced Scholarship and the Summer Seminar Young Numismatist Scholarship, which are funded by generous donations from members and member organizations.
