Austin Hutto
President & Finalizer
Austin was first introduced to coins at a young age by working for a local coin dealer in Orlando, Fl. With his growing interest in numismatics, he attended the ANA’s Summer Seminar at the age of 17, where he met representatives from NGC. He started grading coins with NGC at the age of 18 and remained on the grading staff for 5 years.
In 2014, he moved to California where he started grading Economy Tier submissions. Over time, his responsibilities increased with his proven abilities in the grading room, and he began grading Express Tier and Walkthrough Tier submissions, while still maintaining his grading of Regular and Economy Tier Submissions.
He joined the ICG team in 2024 with the role of President and Lead Finalizer. He has found that in this new role with ICG, he has increased opportunities to interact with collectors and the coin community as a whole, which has reinvigorated his love for numismatics. He finds that his favorite thing about working in numismatics is the fact that there is something new to be learned every day. He looks forward to continuously expanding his wealth of knowledge, as well using that knowledge to help educate and grow his current team at ICG.
