Stack’s Bowers Galleries has announced its 2025 Professional Numismatist Program (PNP). A perfect opportunity for those who want to make their hobby their career, the session will take place July 20-25. The program will provide professional skills and connections to the next generation of young adult numismatists. “The PNP highlighted the true magic of the coin industry,” says a PNP graduate. “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.”

Devin Hipp will be the lead instructor for the program, joined by industry leaders such as Jason Carter, John Kraljevich, Kyle Ponterio, and Aris Maragoudakis. This year’s session will cover a range of numismatic topics, such as advanced coin grading, wholesale trading and valuation, bullion trading, world numismatics, and United States paper money.

Stack’s Bowers Galleries will fully fund all program expenses, including travel, lodging, food, and entertainment. The session will be held at Griffin Studios, located in Costa Mesa, California. Exceptional students may receive internships or paid positions upon completion. Applications are due May 1. To apply or for more information, visit Stack’s Bowers’ website.
