Michael F. Moran has been a numismatist since childhood, when his grandfather got him started collecting Indian Head pennies. He fell in love with the art of Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1960, and spent the summer's lawn-mowing income on one of the artist's $20 gold pieces.

Moran holds a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and a master's in industrial administration from Purdue University. He has spent a business career in corporate mergers and acquisitions in the energy fields and now serves as a managing partner in several diverse businesses.

Since leaving his corporate life, Moran has embarked on a numismatic writing career. His accolades include the American Numismatic Association's Heath Literary Award for an article on the San Francisco earthquake, the Professional Numismatists Guild's Robert Friedberg Award for Striking Change, and the Numismatic Literary Guild Award for best U.S. coin book for 1849: Philadelphia Strikes Gold. Moran is currently serving his fourth term on the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee at the United States Mint, reviewing and critiquing the designs for all the Mint's coins and medals. In addition, he partnered with Tom Uram to spearhead the drive for Congressional authorization to allow the Mint to again strike Morgan and Peace silver dollars in 2021.

Besides his numismatic pursuits, Moran is active in the Congressionally chartered Theodore Roosevelt Association. He presently serves on the executive committee and is the association's treasurer. He also chairs the investment committee and the development committee.
