One lucky young numismatist will win a scholarship to attend the American Numismatic Association's Summer Seminar courtesy of the Professional Numismatists Guild.
The annual "Young Numismatist" scholarship competition held by the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) has opened.
The PNG will provide a scholarship to a deserving young numismatist to attend one session of the 2019 American Numismatic Association (ANA) Summer Seminar in Colorado on June 15-20 or June 22-27.
All young numismatists between the ages of 13 and 22 are eligible to apply for the scholarship. Entrants must submit a short essay outlining why they should be chosen as this year's scholarship recipient. The deadline for receipt of the entries is March 29.
The two separate Annual ANA Summer Seminar six-day sessions will be held this June. Participants ranging from teenagers to seniors take classes on specific numismatic-related topics or the hobby's technical and business aspects.
The funds for the PNG's annual scholarship is administered from its Gerald Bauman Memorial Fund.
Bauman, who died in 2001, served for many years as a prominent coin dealer with Manfra, Tordella and Brookes in New York City.
