A note from Barry Stuppler, PNG member since 1982, and the Founder and President of Mint State Gold, a division of Stuppler & Co:

I am proud to be a member of the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) for over thirty years. Serving on the PNG Board of Directors for the past three years, I have had the privilege of experiencing first-hand why PNG is the premier organization for Rare Coin and Precious Metal Professionals.

 

I highly recommend that all eBay buyers, for their own protection and peace of mind, ONLY purchase coins or precious metals from eBay sellers that are PNG members.

PNG Collector’s Bill of Rights

To reaffirm PNG’s commitment to collectors and the numismatic fraternity, the Professional Numismatists Guild has adopted a “Collector’s Bill of Rights.” This ten-point pledge of consumer protection and education puts extra security into the hands of collectors, letting them know they can do business in the way it should be done --- in a professional manner and with dealers of the highest integrity, who will stand behind the merchandise they sell.

The Professional Numismatists Guild is proud to present this pledge to the numismatic community:
