I am a student who has a visual impairment and was looking for people to interview about their job in numismatics! This is because my person who sees me every Tuesday wants me to start looking for careers and I thought this could be a good place to start.
My name is Seth Chandler I have created the Witter Coin Scholarship Fund. The Fund will be providing an all expense paid trip for Young Numismatists between the ages of 13 to 21 to visit San Francisco and attend a week long coin university from July 24 to July 31, 2021. There will be a total of 25 scholarships awarded. For YNs between the ages of 13 to 17, the Fund will pay for an adult or guardian to accompany them - which is mandatory.
Topics include coin grading, counterfeit detection, toned coins, World & Ancient coinage, plus many other themes.
There will be six instructors which represents an All-Star team of Numismatists.
I know it hasn’t been easy in the last year for a lot of young collectors. Challenging times. We want to reward you with a week long trip to have a greater exposure to our wonderful hobby.

I do very much appreciate the support of the mods for allowing me to post this. Thank you.

We'd all like to have a 1933 double eagle, but what is your personal Holy Grail? I have two. A 1916 Standing Liberty quarter, and any year of the commemorative Texas half dollar from the 30s.
As the title says, looking for someone to appraise a coin collection for a relative somewhere in the city. Just want to make sure it’s someone we can somewhat trust before we turn over a collection blindly. Any recommendations/experience welcome.
Any Montreal or QC coin collectors on this subb?
https://imgur.com/a/447zObl I started off in the UK when I was a kid - picking up coins when the coinage changed - either keeping the old or getting sets of the new, but very casual
The first set I tried to collect coming to the US was the state quarters. I decided to collect 2 rolls of each state - one from each mint. Originally I got a bunch of sets direct from the mint, but then started to miss some of the launches. I picked up a few gaps from eBay but I noticed that even some of those that claimed to be unopened had clearly been opened (abs presumably searched). I know mine aren’t, but I’m ok that people wouldn’t believe that
My goal was to get a “P” and “D” roll from every state, but I’m ok not having all 100 - it’s just something to hang on to and pass down to kids / grand kids. Who knows, maybe in 2121, they’ll be worth more than face
I’m going to post some more of my collections over time - as I get them organized. - most of it was opportunistic like I mentioned, but I’m starting to get more deliberate in my LCS purchases. As I organize I might start to fill in some gaps
