We have returned from the Central States Show with a lot of momentum and we’re now catching up on several deals that have come through our offices in recent weeks as well as collections that are hitting our website on a weekly basis. The news throughout the coin business

If you follow our CWL newsletters and the website weekly, you’ll notice the attention we try to bring to each customer collection we offer. We feel that these offerings are unique and deserve more attention than the normal certified material. For one, we want to let our bidders know

This week finds the DLRC team set up at the CSNS show in Schaumburg (don’t call it Chicago), IL. While I (John) am unable to attend due to some obligations at home, we’ve dispatched the J-Team (John, John, Amandeep J, and Julia) to represent DLRC. So, if you’

This week John is out of the office, so our guest commentary is coming in from Julia, who is introducing herself. We hope that you enjoy getting to know her a little bit more and please don’t hesitate to reach out to her directly at julia.smith@davidlawrence.com

This week has simply been a week of heads down, grinding through, and catching up. We have a number of exciting auction consignments listed in the upcoming weeks, the Cooperstown Commemorative Collection (Classic Silver Commems) and the Azalea Collection of Morgan Dollars (Circulation and Proof). Both groups are running without

As a middle-aged adult, there are two things that I’m rather famous for not liking…one is self-promotion and the other is Zoom calls. Well, I have to do both on Friday in a presentation that I’m giving regarding the Hansen Collection for our friends at the NNP

The past week and a half have been a whirlwind. In fact, it’s probably been the busiest we’ve been at DLRC since the pandemic began. I found myself in Utah visiting the Hansen Collection and our partner last week where we, in addition to discussing some budgeting matters

With Baltimore right around the corner (next week!), we’re busy gearing up for that event. If you have coins to sell or if there is something in our inventory you would like to see in Baltimore, please email us at coins@davidlawrence.com. We’ll be attending all day

As some of you know, we decided to take a quick buying trip to the ANA National Money Show in Colorado Springs last week. We weren’t intending on fully attending the show as the logistics for the trip were difficult and the location of a show in Colorado during

The month of March is numismatically "in like a lion and out like a lamb" this year. We made a last-second two-day trip to the ANA National Money Show in Colorado Springs, have a collection to pick up in two weeks, and will be setting up at the Baltimore Show.

*Continuing our series of introducing folks, both old and new at DLRC, we have a fresh, new introduction to our team this year. We’ve been remiss in announcing his arrival, but those of you who have seen us on the road in 2022, may have met John Call, who

Spring is almost here in the Tidewater area of Virginia with some lovely days in the 70s, followed by a day in the 20s. As they say locally, if you don’t like the weather today, just wait until tomorrow. At the moment, we’re enjoying it as best we

This week has been a long one already, but quite successful. In the office, we have the current auctions featuring a pair of fascinating collections, including a fantastic Registry Set of Walking Liberty Halves ending on the 27th of February as well as a wide variety of Morgan and Peace

This week has brought about a flurry of activity! We’ve brought in a set of Walking Liberty Halves to auction, multiple groups of Morgan Dollars, and a few more interesting collections that you will see in the coming weeks…all on top of the offerings from the D.L.

This week we set aside for another “get to know your numismatist” and Matt decided to share a bit about his background with us. Please enjoy and give Matt a "hello" with your thoughts after reading! (matthew.kavalek@davidlawrence.com) If anyone told me growing up, or really at any

“It takes time (and patience) to build a great collection.” This week feels like the first time in a while that I’ve had the opportunity to review want lists and refresh myself on some items we’re in search of for the Hansen Collection. As I was looking for

We’ve basically recovered from the FUN Show and the week of activity there, but as we’ve returned, we’ve had our hands full with the post-show auction - we were bidding on a few more additions for the Hansen Collection. While we typically expect a week of slower

First of all, thank you to all of you who stopped by to visit us at the FUN Show. We understand many of you didn’t feel comfortable attending and we completely respect that and hope that some of the offerings we’ve written about below capture your attention. I

We’re wrapping up 2021 with this final year-end Coins We Love. It’s been a strange year, but a good one for us and we appreciate all of the support, friendship, and conversations that we’ve had with you this year. So, thank you! While 2021 was an excellent

Numismatic Spotlight: Jason Smith Like most kids growing up in the 60’s to 70’s, I was introduced to coins by earning a weekly allowance for doing household chores, receiving coins for birthday presents, doing well in school, and even trading teeth with the tooth fairy. I was born

This has been a fun week at DLRC as we spent a considerable amount of time re-organizing parts of our office to make it a better experience for everyone. With a few moved desks and a bigger storage area, the office feels like a new home! The clean-up was prompted

It’s that time of year once again. As the calendar turns to December, the market has historically gotten a bit quieter as collectors and dealers alike prepare for the holiday season. As we’ve learned during the current pandemic, this hasn’t necessarily been the case for this holiday

Well, I spoke too soon. Yes, I said last week that the Thursday attendance at the Baltimore show wasn’t what I had hoped, but Friday turned that around completely. The public attendance on Friday far outpaced our expectations and we were busy from start to finish. We did leave

This week found us at the Baltimore Show for the first time in 2 years. It was a nice return to the Whitman event and one that has been incredibly successful for us. While the retail traffic is still a bit lackluster compared to what we expected, the wholesale activity
