Casey Baeslack
Grader

Casey's interest in coins began like many others in the hobby of numismatics, at an early age. Where for some young collectors they begin assembling series of coin types, Morgans, Buffalos, Lincolns, etc. Casey's collecting habits were much simpler. It was not until he began work with ANACS in 2004 that he began to gain a more full understanding of the hobby. As his interest grew, so did his skills and knowledge of numismatics.

In spring of 2005 Casey became a grader at ANACS where he served until the end of 2007.

At the beginning of 2008 Casey joined the expert team of graders at ICG and continues to enjoy the art of grading.

His favorite coin series is the Morgan dollar series of which he is particularly fond of the 1888-0, VAM-4 "Hotlips" variety.
