“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.
