Why All Dealers Should Join the PNG

Founded in 1955, the Professional Numismatists Guild is all about its motto – Knowledge, Integrity, Responsibility. Every PNG member dealer exemplifies all three of these attributes, or they wouldn’t be part of our association. The PNG is universally respected by collectors, investors and numismatic dealers alike.

The PNG logo a seal of approval for the numismatic field. After all, it appears on the back of every NGC coin holder. As a member of our prestigious organization, you are known as an expert in your field and a coin dealer that collectors and investors can trust. For dealers whose reputation for integrity is everything, a PNG membership should be a given.

Membership in the Professional Numismatists Guild is offered on an individual basis to professional numismatists who can meet a rigorous set of ethical standards. It’s the individual who joins the PNG, not the company. 
 

PNG membership benefits:

• Provides an umbrella of protection for you and your customers;
• Is the only self-regulating organization in numismatics today;
• Offers legally binding arbitration for consumers and dealers;
• Takes a strong position on consumer education and promotes the knowledge of coin collecting;
• Industry marketing to help create exposure for our members;
• Networking with the top dealers in the industry;
• Sponsors prestigious sales events with automatic access for PNG members;
• Annual PNG Day prior to the CSNS spring coin show;
• Has forged a special relationship with the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), who offers members ten free walkthrough submissions in their first year;
• Has, through a cooperative effort with Willis Towers Watson, developed an enhanced insurance program specifically designed for the needs of PNG dealers and collectors, with all PNG members receiving a premium discount;
• Has a special relationship with Brinks, who offers preferred rates to PNG members.

While these are all compelling reasons for applying for membership in the Professional Numismatists Guild, we believe the best reason is that having a PNG membership will enhance your stature in our industry.

All of us who are numismatic professionals have been fortunate enough to reap our share of rewards from this business. Being a member of the Guild gives you an opportunity to give something back. Our efforts to educate and protect the consumer, and to raise the level of professionalism in our business, have been a credit to the hobby since our founding in 1955. All of our members have grown by being a part of these efforts.
