The late Philip Grierson was Professor of Numismatics in the Universities of Cambridge and Brussels (and a great writer).
The University of Otago lists 'Ancient Greek history: Numismatics' as one of many postgraduate research opportunities available at the School of Arts with Associate Professor Pat Wheatley.
The Australian Catholic University has Michael P. Theophilos who has written the book "Numismatics and Greek Lexicography". He was on Aussie TV a couple of times talking about coinage after the Queen's death.
FindAMasters states "We have 17 Masters Degrees (Numismatics)" in a few British Universities such as Warwick.
Then of course there is the American Numismatic Association which states that it offers individuals the opportunity to discover and explore the World of Money by enrolling in the School of Numismatics Diploma Program at a special offer of US$499.
Some of their free webinars are o.k. But none of anything above is really relevant to NZ numismatics.
Some on Trade Me would qualify as experts ie. Antiquarius, Numismatic, Translateltd etc.
Thank you for the vote of confidence! I'd also add Macquarie Uinversity in Sydney, which has ACANS, the Australian Centre for Ancient Numismatic Studies.
