Coins We Love - August 25

As summer winds down in Virginia Beach, we’re preparing for a slight break in the heat wave and for the schools to open back up. While we’ve seen the typical post-ANA adjustments for many collectors, we’ve been very encouraged with the recent results of the Carolina Creek

Coins We Love: Carolina Creek Edition - August 18

We’ve been busy digesting all of our new purchases from the recently completed ANA show. As we mentioned in our blog [https://blog.davidlawrence.com/ana-show-report-and-new-auction-lots-posted/] from this past week, the ANA show was a fantastic buying show for us at DLRC, and we were very pleased with what

Coins We Love: Live from the ANA World’s Fair of Money

This week’s CWL comes to you from our booth at the ANA World’s Fair of Money in Anaheim. It’s been an active week so far as we arrived last Thursday and have bought and sold more coins than we can count at the moment! While many have

It's been a busy week at DLRC: recovering from the Whitman Baltimore show, readying ourselves for the upcoming ANA World's Fair in Anaheim, and buying and selling coins in our office in Virginia Beach. No two weeks are the same at DLRC, and we are thankful

Coins We Love - July 14

There are few coin shows that simply transcend the “average” coin show, and the Whitman Baltimore Show is one of our favorites. Proximity certainly plays a part, but the Charm City has a certain amount of “charm” and is a great numismatic center, providing an active floor and some familiarity

Coins We Love: Greatest Hits

This week finds us in Long Beach, California, for the tri-annual coin show hosted by PCGS. It’s long been a staple for coin dealers, but it’s the first time I (John Brush) have attended in 2 years. It’s been a great trip for Devin and I so

Death of the Coin Show?

We read on a regular basis that traditional coin shows are dying a slow death due to the presence of the Internet, live auctions, and dealers that service their customers. While there is some truth to the fact that your selection is far more limited than when you’re in

Summer has finally arrived in Virginia Beach and while the weather is turning, we are no less enthusiastic about the coin market. The fabulous Pogue collection auction concluded on Tuesday night with the two largest coins not selling due to aggressive reserves and, as some have said, seller’s remorse.

The coin market is a funny thing. Coin dealers are certainly an interesting bunch and tend to have proclivities that focus around eating and travel. This week’s activities at the PCGS Invitational Show in New Orleans involved both. While in recent months we have become accustomed to the large
