The Professional Numismatists Guild’s (PNG) multi-media education program, originally created only for participants in the PNG internship mentoring program, is now available online to collectors and dealers worldwide.
“There are two levels of online classes developed by Karl Newman in conjunction with the University of Rare Coins and PNG’s Edward C. Milas School of Numismatics. We are making these available online to anyone who wants to increase their knowledge of numismatics, from the minting process to the business of buying and selling coins,” explained PNG Executive Director Robert Brueggeman.
The Level 100 course is designed to provide broad-based basic knowledge about numismatics. Topics include purchasing, selling, marketing and auctions; third-party certification; coin shows; and numismatic organizations and industry resources.
Level 200 topics include metallurgy and technology in the science of numismatics; the minting process and errors; and the history of monetary systems and development of coining.
The enrollment fee is $300, and that includes both Level 100 and 200 courses. Certificates of Completion will be provided to everyone who successfully completes both levels.
