(Beaumont, Texas) -- Rick Montgomery, President of Numismatic Guaranty Corporation visited the offices of Universal Coin & Bullion (www.UniversalCoin.com) in Beaumont, Texas on October 6, 2011 to meet with the company's sales staff and discuss the importance of third-party authentication and grading for consumer confidence and assets liquidity in the numismatic marketplace.

He explained the processes NGC uses to evaluate coins, and said his company now is examining an average of 125,000 coins each month. He also said NGC is working to remove from the marketplace counterfeits being made in China and sold in the United States.

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 1980's 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."

The Mike Fuljenz Metals Market Report

February 2012, Week 3 Edition

Gold rose 4 of 5 days last week, with a down day on Thursday, when the dollar rose strongly to the euro, after Moody's Investors Service lowered its credit ratings (or outlook) on nine European nations. Former euro-strongholds like Austria and France now have negative outlooks. Also, the euro-zone's GDP fell at a 1.3% annual rate last quarter. Italy contracted at a painful 2.9% annual rate, while Belgium, Greece, the Netherlands and Portugal entered a recession, with their second straight quarter of negative GDP growth.
