ICG : 5 star grading service

It is time everyone learned more about one of the TOP coin grading services in the business.

Making up the Team of I.C.G. graders is Keith Love, CEO and senior grader,
He attended the University of Colorado where he received
a degree in finance and marketing. He has worked as a professional coin grader
and managed his own successful wholesale coin business.
Keith founded ICG in 1998 with J.P. Martin, Walt Armitage and CFO Brett Williams.
In addition, Keith has taught Advanced Grading classes for the ANA, a class he helped developed. 
The ANA has called Keith "a renowned expert".  As ICG's top executive, Keith has many responsibilities, but still spends much of this time in the ICG Grading Room.

Next up is,   J.P.Martin.Senior Numismatist  

 J.P. started collecting coins when he was eight years old and has been involved
in the coin industry since the early 1980's, starting as the manager of a coin shop near Chicago.
 A graduate of the University of Illinois, J.P. worked at the American Numismatic Association (ANA) as a grader,
 authenticator and numismatist for nearly 15 years. He was the founder of ANA's Authentication Bureau (ANAAB)
and is a charter member and mentor for ANA's Numismatic Diploma Program.
He has written two best-selling correspondence courses for the ANA,
Grading Mint State U.S. Coins and Detecting Counterfeit
and Altered Coins. He has written and starred in two popular educational videos for the ANA on the same subjects.
He teaches counterfeit detection to Secret Service agents. No one has taught more people how to grade and
authenticate coins than J.P. - no one.  J.P's ability to authenticate classic U.S.
and ancient coins makes him a numismatic anomaly.
