NexGen mentors are shaping the future of numismatics! If you’d like to contribute but aren’t able to be a mentor, we welcome donations to help expand the program in the coming years. Please email [email protected] if you’re interested in donating!

If you deal with a lot of precious metals, you should consider joining the APMD! With the same set of standards as the PNG, the APMD focuses on bullion dealers. Joining could help you reach new clients that are interested in a different area of numismatics. If you’re interested in joining, we’d love to hear from you!

The PNG has received a large donation from A-Mark, JM Bullion, and Stack’s Bowers Galleries. On behalf of three of the companies, long-time hobby business executive Greg Roberts has announced what is described as a combined “six-figure commitment” donation. All three companies will be Official Sponsors for at least two years, and the funds will go toward funding our educational and membership-expansion efforts.

We have just one member in North Carolina, Vincent E. Wade in Pinehurst, NC. If you’re based in North Carolina and are interested in joining, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re excited to host PNG Dealer Day, a dealer-only event, on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, in conjunction with the annual Central States Numismatic Society convention. This event will be open to all PNG and CSNS member-dealers. Follow the link in our bio to “Events” to learn more!

We love to hear from our members! Jeffrey Zarit has been a PNG member since 1987, and keeping the focus on the collector and keeping this hobby alive has always been his top priority. At the PNG, we completely agree and love to see our members upholding those values!

Attention PNG members! We love getting to highlight what you’ve been up to on our social media accounts, and while we try to stay on top of news, we can’t keep up with every single member. Instead, we’d like to invite you to share your news. Just follow the link in our bio and go to “Member Submissions,” and send us your recent article, event, or company news – anything interesting that you’re up to, we’d love to hear about it! We may not be able to post everything that’s submitted, but we’ll review every submission and look forward to highlighting more individual members. The submission form will remain open, so feel free to come back at any time and send us an update!
