I’ve always considered myself the prototypical professional student. Dean’s list, honor roll, graduating cum laude. I’m never happier than when sitting in a classroom, learning some unusual concept. Through countless hours of college credit, I’ve explored a diverse curriculum: history, English, French, Spanish, Latin, writing, psychology, music, speech, physics, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, chemistry, biology, anatomy, physiology, and accounting. No matter the course, I’ve always enjoyed learning the material and never had a problem adjusting my mindset to that of the field I was studying. Never, that is, until this past month when I found myself in a coin grading class.
