            Even after his term with the U.S. Mint, Moy did not forget about the world of numismatics. As a coin collector himself, Moy decided to write a reference book in 2013. The Numismatic Guarantee Corporation, also known as NGC, commissioned Moy to hand sign labels for their coins. The Moy Signature Label is highly sought after by numismatic coin collectors. Today, Moy continues a successful career as a businessman and even has his own website.
