During hard times, the paper usually reflects that situation. Take a tour covering 600+ years of paper money, including how it is made, what it represents, its artistry, and where it is going from here (soon it may not be “paper” money any longer). Classroom time will include many hours of handling notes, not simply watching slide shows. Pick the countries or periods you are interested in and enjoy. Instructor: Joseph E. Boling, ANA Chief Exhibit Judge, co-author of World War II Remembered: history in your hands |

35- Art of Engraving This class is intended to perpetuate the skillset of medallic engraving, bridge the gap between artists and numismatics, and foster knowledge in both the art form and the mechanics of historic and current coin & amp; medal production. Die engraving is an ancient art form; this course is built on a two year timeline to teach artists how coins and medals were traditionally created. The first year‘s focus is bas relief and exposure to working sculpturally in the negative, in plaster. The second year builds on this knowledge and skill set, but focuses further on hand cutting steel dies for striking small medals, to include creating their own engraving tools. During the second year, all work is done in the negative, in steel. The class is time intensive and requires long periods of focus and concentration. Applicants are selected based on portfolio review. THIS CLASS IS ONLY OFFERED BY SCHOLARSHIP. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REGISTER UNTIL YOU COMPLETE THE SCHOLARSHIP FORM AND IT IS ACCEPTED. Instructor: Laura Stocklin |

I- Counterstamps: Coins That Tell Their Own Story - (Sunday-Monday, June 29-30, 6:30PM-9:30PM) Counter stamped coins are a window into history. Before Instagram reels and Facebook ads, merchants had to rely on what seems today primitive means of getting the word out about their wares and businesses. In the mid 1800’s it was common for merchants to stamp their business name, location, and their own names into the surface of coins with metal punches. We often hear the line, “If only this coin could tell its story.” With counterstamps, the coins actually do tell their stories. We can learn where they were from, who held them, and about the people connected to them, making history come alive! This class will examine choice examples of key US counter stamped coins and learn about the people who made them, how the stamps were made, their rarity and the incredible tales these coins can tell. Instructor: Greg Bennick, TAMS Board Member, CONECA Board Member |
