COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG  NUMISMATICS SEMINAR

  From Gail Baker, ANA Education Director:  "In August
  2003,  Colonial Williamsburg and the American Numismatic
  Association will partner to host a very special seminar on
  Colonial Numismatics.  Richard Doty, numismatic curator at
  the Smithsonian Institution and John Kraljevich, numismatist,
  Bowers and Merena Galleries will join Erik Goldstein,
  numismatic curator at Colonial Williamsburg and the
  professional staff of Colonial Williamsburg for a
  once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn about 18th century
  numismatics in the original 18th century setting.

  Participants will view Colonial Williamsburg's foremost
  collection of Colonial and Continental paper money; coinage
  from the era, including extensive sets of French, Dutch and
  Spanish colonial pieces; exquisite Massachusetts and New
  England silver; Continental Currency, Colonial copper coins
  and much, much more. Students will go behind the scenes
  of the DeWitt Wallace Museum Collections and Conservation
  Building at Colonial Williamsburg for demonstrations in the
  state-of-the-art conservation areas, photography studios and
  archives.

  Williamsburg, Virginia was the capital of the colony of Virginia
  from 1699 to 1780. Here, Thomas Jefferson studied law, and
  later he, George Washington, Patrick Henry, and other patriot
  leaders plotted America's freedom from Great Britain. Today
  Colonial Williamsburg has been recreated with more than 500
  restored and reconstructed buildings with historical interpreters
  representing citizens from the 18th century. Colonial
  Williamsburg is a living, working city.  Skilled craftsmen create
  items like saddles, garments and cartwheels; people actually
  live in the homes you'll pass by, and real commerce takes place
  within the town's many shops and taverns.

   Please contact ANA Education for more information."

  [This sounds like a wonderful opportunity.   The seminar
  dates are August 3-6, 2003.   Gail's email address is
