PNP will be fully funded by Stack’s Bowers Galleries, and all expenses (transportation, lodging, food, and entertainment) will be covered. The program will take place at Griffin Studios, located in Stack’s Bowers headquarters in Costa Mesa, California. Paid positions and internships will be available for exceptional applicants.

“Our inaugural Professional Numismatist Program was a special moment for us here at Stack’s Bowers Galleries,” says Devin Hipp. “We are delighted to be offering this program again in 2024, and we look forward to hearing from this year’s group of applicants.”
