Michael "Miles" Standish (born November 13, 1964) is an American businessman, author, rare coin expert, sports memorabilia expert and philanthropist. He is co-founder of Collectors Universe. He currently serves as vice president of the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on November 13, 1964, Standish became interested in numismatics at a young age. He is a 1983 graduate of Portage Central High School in Portage, Michigan, where he lettered in football and was a disc jockey of the school radio station. Standish first became involved in selling coins at the age of 17, when he set up his first table at the National Silver Dollar Show (1982) in Houston, Texas.[citation needed] Standish began his career in the coin industry as he traveled to regional and local coin shows. He was hired by ANACS, America's Oldest Grading service, to be a grader in 1984. While at ANACS, Standish began to write a monthly column called "Under the Loupe", which was published in Coin World Magazine from 1984 until 1988. Standish left ANACS in 1985 and went to work for Michael G. DeFalco, a notable dealer specializing in silver dollars, toned coins, and commemoratives. He also worked for Wayne Miller and Steve Contursi, where he served as a coin buyer. It was at about this time that Standish got the nickname “Miles”, a humorous reference to Myles Standish, the Plymouth Colony captain. Standish credits the origin of the nickname to then American Numismatic Association President Florence M. Schook.[citation needed] In January 1987, Standish joined PCGS and was the first full-time coin grader in the company’s history. He became part owner in the company in 1995. In 2004 Standish received notoriety for the detection of an impostor coin. "Someone had taken a 1945 cent (which was made of copper alloy) and altered the '5' in the date to resemble a '3.' Expert authenticator Miles Standish...needed only seconds to spot the alteration and pass the news along to the coin's now crestfallen owner. Instead of being rare and worth a small fortune, the coin was just an ordinary cent." Standish also spoke out about a rare dime-penny that was discovered in 2000. In 2005, Standish left PCGS to serve as vice chairman and chief numismatist of ANACS. While at ANACS, Standish modernized ANACS' business model and brought them back to profitability.[citation needed] Standish left ANACS in September, 2006 and returned to PCGS where he served as vice president. In 2015, Standish joined NGC and currently serves as vice president. Standish is one of American numismatics' most recognized graders and authenticators of coins. Standish was the first full-time coin grader at Professional Coin Grading Service. In the course of his career, Standish has graded between 8,000,000 and 10,000,000 coins, including a number of significant rarities, such as the 1913 Liberty nickels and all of the 1804 dollars. While with PCGS, Standish developed a number of marketing innovations, including PCGS’ bulk submission and First Strike programs, the company’s Signature Series of PCGS inserts which include autographs of notable figures such as Presidents George H. Bush and Gerald Ford, U.S. Mint Directors Donna Pope, Jay W. Johnson, and Philip Diehl, Edmund Moy, Chief Engraver John Mercanti, General Tommy Franks and Hall of Fame baseball player Nolan Ryan. In 2011, for his service to numismatics and to the U.S. Mint, Standish was awarded the “Director’s Coin for Excellence” by Director of the United States Mint, Edmund Moy. Other notable accomplishments include creation of the first encapsulated holder housing a U.S. coin and a U. S. Presidential Autograph and his planning and implementation of an innovative marketing and merchandising program to maximize the sales of State Quarters—an encapsulated coin holder with a State Quarter and the corresponding state flag.
