Central States Numismatic Society is proud to announce the formation of a new scholarship for young numismatic professionals to attend theANA's Summer Seminar. The Emerging Young Professional Scholarship sponsored by Eagle Eye Rare Coins in Tucson, AZ is designed to help nurtureand educate young dealers and help them build a professional network through attending Summer Seminar.

As Eagle Eye Rare Coins owner, Rick Snow, said, "It is difficult to get into the coin business without the help and guidance from establisheddealers. I could not have begun my career in numismatics without the support of the dealer I worked for prior to starting Eagle Eye Rare Coinsin 1992, Elliott Goldman. It is my hope that this scholarship will help an emerging numismatist make that leap into a professional career."

CSNS President Mitch Ernst added, "We all have heard that YN's are the future of the hobby. Yet, no one has thought about helping the futureof the dealer side of the hobby. It is our hope that this scholarship will help fill that need."
