THIS PRESIDENT MAKES THE GRADE

Brett Charville was named president of the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) in December 2018.

He has been a dealer in collectible coins for over 15 years. This expert in grading and evaluating U.S. vintage coins got his break in the world of professional numismatics like many others, as an intern at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Texas.

After graduating from Miami University, Charville was employed by Heritage as a wholesale buyer and grader. He then spent two years at Carter Numismatics in Tulsa, Oklahoma, also as a buyer and grader. In 2012, Charville founded Standard Numismatics, a wholesale-focused trading company based in Chicago.

“I was both very excited and humbled about the opportunity to be part of PCGS, the most storied brand in numismatics worldwide. The appointment was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I look forward to continuing to lead PCGS in its next chapter forward,” Charville told COINage.

“We have a responsibility to many different stakeholders: to deliver a consistent and marketable product to our submitters, as well as provide liquidity, security, and act as a bulkhead against counterfeiting. We have an obligation to the shareholders of Collectors Universe (NASDAQ: CLCT), PCGS’s holding company, to grow our brands and business in sustainable, consistent, and innovative ways.
