I am continuously looking for ways to expand my numismatics brainpower, and aside from simply reading everything I can find and looking at coins until my eyes cross to apply what I read, there isn’t a well structured learning pathway that I have seen. I stumbled across the ANA diploma program and was curious what others thought? Has anyone completed it and if so what was your experience? I’m a bit cynical and wonder if much is actually learned, but I’ll withhold judgement until I hear real experiences.
Here is the program I am referencing if you aren’t aware:

Wow, I didn't know there was a Numismatic Diploma Program. Now I want to get to know this area better. And a big thanks for sharing a link to the program. I first learned about numismatics with an essay that I ordered on the PapersOwl service, in this essay it was about monetary relations through a historical prism. Then I studied in detail the history, types of funds, motets, etc. It's good that at that time I found this great service review and learned so much that it gave me a new course of development.

I read a message with his story and I want to say that he was a true leader in numismatics. I wonder if there are at least a dozen people with as much experience as Harvey Stack. Being a leader is a very difficult task, which is definitely not for everyone, because few people can handle a lot of responsibility and can effectively manage other people. I recommend reading https://samploon.com/free-essays/leadership/ to become more aware of the complexity of leadership in practical cases. I found this site when I had problems in college. Then it helped me a lot with writing texts and analyzing topics that I don't know well.
I really liked this excerpt from the description of his biography:
Harvey Stack’s role in numismatics was not purely business. He fought for clearer import regulations on coins from overseas and testified before a congressional subcommittee leading up to the Hobby Protection Act of 1973. He worked with the American Numismatic Association and other professionals in an effort to develop a standardized grading system for coins. In 1996 he appeared before the U.S. House Banking Committee to propose the 50 State Quarters Program, which brought countless new collectors into the hobby. Harvey Stack served on the board of the Professional Numismatists Guild for nearly a decade and acted as its president for two years beginning in 1989. In 1993 he received the PNG's Founder's Award, their highest honor, for his dedication to the hobby. Over the years, Harvey was a great supporter of the American Numismatic Association, the American Numismatic Society, and the Smithsonian Institution. He was a long-term member of the International Association of Professional Numismatists, as well as numerous other numismatic societies.
