“When I first heard of the Stack’s Bowers Galleries PNP, I knew it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The abundant generosity that the company poured out onto the next generation is exactly what the hobby is calling for. The professional expertise shared with the students was a significant part of the experience, as were building lifelong friendships, business connections, and real-life skills. I would greatly encourage all young aspiring numismatists to apply!”
This is how PNP graduate C.N. described the experience of attending the Professional Numismatist Program at Stack’s Bowers Galleries. If you are between the ages of 18 and 25 and would like to greatly increase your knowledge of numismatics or learn more about being a professional numismatist, we encourage you to apply for our 2025 Program, scheduled for July 20-25 in Costa Mesa, California.
