Michael S. Fey, Ph.D. While most collectors and dealers know of Dr. Fey s expertise in advanced silver dollar collecting and investing, few know that he has comparable expertise in nearly all U.S. coinage types, in all types of Canadian and Maritime Province coins, in 20th century Philippines and Mexican types, and in working with clients of his Rare Coin Investments (RCI) business on a wide range of numismatic investment properties. Dr. Fey was second under bidder on the Walter J. Childs specimen of the 1804 silver dollar (1999), generally thought to be the finest known example of the King of all U.S. coins. Dr. Fey is a professional member of all the most recognized grading services (PCGS, NGC, NCS, ANACS and others), and has been engaged as a consult to the grading services at times. He maintains membership in dozens of numismatic specialty organizations, and has published extensively on new variety discoveries in U.S. and foreign coins. He published a quarterly newsletter, Top 100 Insights and Value Guide, with trading values used by Coin World and Numismatic News and published in Coinage magazine. He has given dozens of numismatic talks in public venues and has taught advanced courses at ANA Summer conferences. His books, The Top 100 Morgan Dollar Varieties: The VAM Keys co-authored with Jeff Oxman, and A Decade of Top 100 Insights, have become ground-breaking books and necessary references for advanced silver dollar collecting. He also assisted several other authors with editing and publication of their numismatic reference books. Dr. Fey has conducted numerous Ultra Rarity auctions through his company Rare Coin Investments (RCI), and has brought consignors record prices for their rare die varieties and collections. Dr. Fey donated much of his time to the coin collecting hobby. He is a past member of the Board of Governors of the American Numismatic Association (ANA; 2005-2007), a member of several ANA Presidential appointed committees, and is currently serving on the ANA Mediation Committee. He is also currently serving as a member of the ANA Advisory Board, and was a member of the founding Board of the Society of Silver Dollar Collectors (SSDC).

Nettleship award as well as dozens of certificates and awards for speaking and teaching engagements.
