Beginnging in 2007, Justin began screening tens-of-thousands of "raw" Presidential Dollar coins to create the #1 Business-Strike Presidential Dollar set in the PCGS Registry for which he was bestowed PCGS’s coveted “Young Numismatist of the Year” award at the age of 17 in 2009.

He has also personally assisted two great "Hall of Famers" with their PCGS registry sets and collections ("Justhavingfun" and "The Heller Collection") both in the United States and Asia. Justin has been working to expand MonsterCoinMart globally, and has recently began introducing MonsterCoinMart's products into Asia. In his spare time, Justin loves travelling and hopes that his numismatic pursuits can take him throughout the world in the years ahead.
