It was Montgomery’s second visit to Universal Coin & Bullion but not the second time he’s met with the company’s president, Michael Fuljenz.

“Rick and I worked together in the 1980s as graders at ANACS [then the American Numismatic Association Certification Service], and we taught grading and counterfeit detection classes together for collectors, dealers and even Secret Service and FBI agents,” said Fuljenz.

“Rick is one of the foremost rare coin authenticators and graders in the country, and we were honored to have him visit. We sell a lot of NGC-certified coins and respect their products.”
