More About Miles Standish
An American businessman, author, and expert on sports memorabilia and rare coins, Miles Standish co-founded the Collectors Universe and serves as vice president of the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC).

Miles began his career in the coin industry and was hired as a grader for ANACS, America's oldest grading service, in 1984.

He later went on to work for Michael G. DeFalco where he gained knowledge and experience with silver dollars, toned coins, and commemoratives. Miles has also worked as a coin buyer for Wayne Miller and Steve Contursi.

Miles Standish later joined PCGS and in 1995 became part owner in the company. He gained a lot of notoriety for his astute detection of an imposture coin—a 1945 cent with the 5 being altered to look like a 3—which took him only seconds to spot. He of course reported the fraud to the owner of the coin, who had to see his hopes of a rare coin worth a small fortune be reduced to the realization that he owned just an ordinary cent.

Standish left PCGS in 2005 and became vice chairman and chief numismatist of ANACS where he modernized their business model, bringing them back to profitability. However, in 2006, he returned to PCGS as vice president.

He currently serves as vice president of NGC.

Interestingly, "Miles" is a nickname which Michael "Miles" Standish received during his time working with Wayne Miller and Steve Contursi. The nickname "Miles" was a humorous reference to Myles Standish, the captain of the Plymouth Colony.
