<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Charlie32, post: 100542, member: 4030&quot;]In Coin World this week, it reported that Michael Fahey was leaving ANACS to join ICG.&nbsp; Here is the press release:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>&quot;Press Release</p><p>December 19, 2005</p><p>Michael Fahey Joins ICG</p><p><br /></p><p>Michael Fahey will be joining ICG as a Senior Numismatist beginning in January of 2006. Michael has spent 25 years at ANACS and has been a grader at a third-party service longer than anyone in history. Michael is a columnist for Coin World, has written for The Numismatist, and has authored ANA Counterfeit Detection reports. Michael will be rejoining J.P. Martin as the two worked together for years at ANACS in Colorado Springs.</p><p><br /></p><p>ICG has recently “rocked” the third-party grading world by offering to complete all economy and 15-day submissions in seven days. This is opposed to the 60 day plus turnaround times that are common in the business. This new service has created a significant increase in submissions to ICG. The addition of Fahey will help keep ICG’s turnaround times at seven days.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keith Love stated, “When I started ICG, I knew we had to have one of the top three graders/authenticators in the business. I was talking about J.P. Martin, Rick Montgomery or Michael Fahey. I have always felt fortunate that J.P. Martin joined me as my partner, but now I am simply ecstatic to have Michael Fahey working with us also. To have two of the top three grader/authenticators in the world under one roof really puts ICG in a leadership role in third-party coin grading.”</p><p><br /></p><p>J.P. Martin offered, “Michael Fahey coming to ICG is comparable to Rick Montgomery leaving PCGS and going to NGC. These are the two most significant employment changes in the history of third-party grading. I feel as though ICG is the recipient of a fantastic holiday gift in having Michael come grade here.”</p><p><br /></p><p>Michael Fahey will immediately begin work on all areas of coins. Including classic US coins, varieties – including VAMS and OVERTONS, world coins, and all authentication issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>For further questions regarding Michael Fahey or the ICG 7-Day Guarantee please contact the ICG Vice President of Client Relations and Marketing at (877) 221-4424 X203.&quot;</p><p>--------------------------------------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Charlie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
