coins we love Coins We Love: Final FUN Show Evaluation We left off last week before the actual show opened in Orlando, and we really didn’t know what to expect when the main event started — what we experienced was unlike anything in recent years. Setup on Wednesday afternoon was quite active amongst the dealers and it was generally a

To say that there’s excitement in the air this year is an understatement. It seems like every day we’re seeing record prices for precious metals and the buzz around it
coins we love Coins We Love: Happy New Year! We hope that you’re enjoying your black-eyed peas, collard greens, and cornbread…maybe I’m showing my southern roots a bit too much, but the tv advertisement for the buffet across the border in NC is reminding me of my mother's New Year's Day dinner
coins we love Coins We Love: Christmas Edition! We hope that everyone is enjoying the holiday season and we wish those of you celebrating today a Merry Christmas. Our offices are closed today, but will re-open tomorrow with a limited staff through the New Year. If we can be of assistance to you, please don't hesitate
coins we love Coins We Love: What A Show!! Generally, when we go to shows, we try to set some realistic goals for buying and selling to give us something to work towards. Coming to the PCGS Las Vegas event, our goals weren’t too high as we weren’t sure what we’d see here. But, I can

If you’re planning on attending and want to see a coin from our website in-hand, please let us know before Monday! We’d be happy to pack it alongside
coins we love Coins We Love: Welcome to December! I was reading something the other day, and it struck me as funny. As the calendar rolls around to December, the meaning of the word is "the 10th month”! So, we’re entering the 12th month of the year using a term that means the 10th month. This sounds

By the time you’re reading this, our office is closed, and we’re enjoying some time with one of the two “F’s”: family or football. In my case, hopefully both. Thanksgiving has long been my favorite holiday because
coins we love Coins We Love: Fall Q&A Session We often get asked a ton of questions throughout the year and occasionally we’ll try to stop and answer them along the way. So, this week’s CWL is a Q&A from questions gathered throughout the year! Q: Why don’t you attend shows on Saturday? A:
coins we love Coins We Love: Baltimore... Again! I once had a dealer tell me that they had tallied up how much time they had spent in Long Beach and Baltimore as a result of coin shows in those locales, and the tally of years was quite shocking. That being said, there are worse places to be, and
coins we love Coins We Love: On to Baltimore We’ve made it to our home away from home, Baltimore, Maryland for the annual Fall/Winter Whitman Expo. The trip up here was uneventful for once, but we had a late start due to the avalanche of coins that have fallen our way this week. This was a wonderful
coins we love Coins We Love: When a Coin Show Isn’t a Coin Show Sometimes we get a bit overly aggressive in scheduling travel to coin shows throughout the country. It happens every year (just ask my wife!), and we end up canceling one or two that we just can’t make it to, or we do back-to-back weeks with shows, only to return
coins we love Coins We Love: On The Road Again The precious metals market continues to fly all over the place. We thought that the week would start off with some possible calmness...until we looked at the prices on Sunday evening and realized that the week would likely be another roller coaster. Well, here we go again. I try

Last week, I spent a few
coins we love Coins We Love: What's Going On With Gold?! I picked a heck of a week to travel across the country. Gold and silver continued to stretch their legs (and arms and neck!) and reached levels unseen. Generally, as we are not a bullion-focused company, it doesn’t have a huge effect on us. However, the last few weeks
coins we love Coins We Love: Sometimes It's Better to be Wrong! I initially came to DLRC to work with John Feigenbaum, assisting with more of the wholesale buying and selling. John was trying to pull away from the coin part of the company, and he knew that was something that I loved, so it was a good fit. I still enjoy

As Wes told me in a conversation regarding coins and the world around us on the way home yesterday, “I have no interest in the politics. I just want to play and study the coins.” I mentioned that it’s not always that easy, but we can certainly try to

The Labor Day weekend came in handy, and the wife’s insistence on staying home and regrouping was wise counsel (though

It was literally the only evening that I didn’t have a business dinner, so we ended up grabbing food at a place I had my eye on all week, Mickey Mantle’s Steakhouse. It was across the street
coins we love Coins We Love: Welcome to Oklahoma City! Getting to OKC wasn’t for the faint of heart. But, we overcame the 3.5-hour layover in Atlanta and finally find our way here to be welcomed by….an empty airport. Interestingly, that seems to be the theme for the city. It’s just empty. The city is quite

After a week of numismatic education and camaraderie, the week ends with a special guest speaker (Kevin Lipton of KLRC this year), a banquet, and a small private coin show for

However, the summer hiatus seems to have ended a week early this year. With Jack continuing to wander around the eastern US through New York, Ohio, Illinois,
coins we love Coins We Love: Cheers to 19 Years! I was listening to a podcast about small businesses on my way to work today, and it reminded me that I’ve now been at DLRC for 19 years. It’s honestly hard to believe it has been that long. As the adage goes, “time flies when you’re having
