To continue this legacy, Stack’s Bowers Galleries is pleased to announce the 2025 session of their Professional Numismatist Program scheduled from July 20-25, 2025.
Stack’s Bowers Galleries Professional Numismatist Program is fully funded by Stack’s Bowers Galleries and there is no charge to the participants. All expenses – travel, lodging, food, beverage and entertainment – will all be taken care of.
The program’s mission statement: To provide practical tools and build professional connections for the next generation of young adult numismatists. The lead instructor will be Devin Hipp, joined by industry leaders Greg Roberts, Jason Carter, John Kraljevich, John Pack, Kyle Ponterio, Peter Treglia, Aris Maragoudakis, and Dennis Hengeveld to name just a few. Covered topics will include advanced coin grading, wholesale trading and valuation, bullion trading, introduction to world numismatics, United States and world paper money, and an in-depth look at the entire auction process.
The Professional Numismatist Program will be fully funded by Stack’s Bowers Galleries with all expenses – travel, lodging, food, beverages, and entertainment – provided by the firm upon acceptance to the program. The program will take place in Griffin Studios, located in their worldwide headquarters in Costa Mesa, California allowing students to enjoy the best that Southern California has to offer with its diverse recreational environment. For exceptional students, paid positions and internships may be available immediately.
“The PNP highlighted the true magic of the coin industry. I went in thinking I had a fairly good understanding of how the market works, but I quickly learned how the gears of the industry turn in so many different ways. I left with connections, competence, and confidence that I can step up my game in ways I did not realize were possible. The staff, fellow participants, and education all made this an unforgettable and invaluable experience.” PNP Graduate H.H.
“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!” PNP graduate C.N.
If you have ever considered making your hobby your profession, here is the perfect opportunity to observe and acquire the skills necessary to be successful in this exciting field.
