About Edmund Moy

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA – Edmund C. Moy, Former United States Mint Director (2006 – 2011), has joined Irvine, California based Morgan Gold. In addition to being a spokesperson, Moy has made Morgan Gold his “company of choice” when it comes to buying gold for physical delivery and for his retirement portfolio.

In 2001, the George W. Bush administration named Moy as a Special Assistant to the President for Presidential Personnel, where he oversaw the selection of candidates for presidential appointments in the general areas of human, natural, and cultural resources. In 2003, he served on the transition team for the newly-created Department of Homeland Security.

On June 29, 2006, President Bush nominated Moy to serve as the 38th Director of the United States Mint, the largest producing entity of gold and silver coins in the world. Moy was confirmed unanimously by the United States Senate, and was sworn in on September 5 of the same year. After serving the prescribed 5-year term, Moy resigned and returned to the private sector—to join Morgan Gold.

During a presentation delivered in September 2007 at the International Federation of Medallic Art conference, Moy discussed his ambition to spark a “Neo-Renaissance” of coin design. Towards this end in 2009 he recreated the Ultra High Relief Double Eagle) gold coin— America’s most beautiful coin—originally conceived 100 years earlier by America’s greatest sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, to fulfill President Theodore Roosevelt’s desire to produce coins as beautiful as those created in ancient Greece. In 2009, Moy oversaw the production of four commemorative cents celebrating the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln and the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln Cent. And in 2010, the U.S. Mint, under Moy’s leadership, began production of the America the Beautiful quarters, that will continue to celebrate America’s National Parks and Historic Sites through 2021. 

On July 20, 2010 United States Mint Director Edmund Moy appeared before the U.S. House of Representatives’ Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology regarding the “The State of U.S. Coins and Currency.” Moy indicated that for the Fiscal Year of 2009, the mint produced and issued 27.6 million ounces of gold, silver and platinum bullion coins--triple the amount of recent years. 

Many of the precious metal coins minted in this and other years have found their way into collections and investor portfolios, as well as IRA and 401K retirement plans.
