NGC Engages Leo Wang as Senior Consultant

Numismatic Guaranty Corporation® (NGC®) has engaged prominent Shanghai collector Leo Wang as a Senior Consultant. Mr. Wang will advise NGC on issues that affect collectors and the hobby as a whole.

Mr. Wang is a successful entrepreneur who has established several companies in China. He also serves as an investment consultant to several international banks.

His passion, however, is numismatics. A dedicated researcher and collector, Mr. Wang is particularly focused on modern Chinese gold and silver coins, but he also collects Ancient Roman coins, US Morgan Dollars and vintage Chinese coins.

When NGC entered the Chinese market in 2008, Mr. Wang was among the first to see the benefits of expert authentication, grading and encapsulation by NGC. He participated in NGC educational seminars in China and became an enthusiastic proponent of NGC certification to his fellow collectors.

Mr. Wang has since advised NGC as it has developed online resources and other services for Chinese collectors. He was one of the earliest users of the Chinese NGC Registry, which was launched on NGCcoin.cn late last year, and he has provided valuable feedback to NGC on that tool. He has also consulted NGC on many other features of its China website and will continue to do so in an expanded capacity in his role as Senior Consultant.

“Leo is extremely smart and dedicated, but more importantly he has been a great and loyal friend to me and to NGC,” says Steven R. Eichenbaum, CEO of NGC. “We are very privileged that Leo has agreed to become a Senior Consultant.”

Mr. Wang joins an advisory panel of collectors and other non-professional numismatists in China who give NGC feedback on its services and issues that affect the hobby.
