Coins We Love: Dateline Baltimore

Dateline Baltimore. Team DLRC has been gradually descending on the numismatic capitol of the East Coast, Baltimore, Maryland this week. Having arrived on Tuesday, we’ve had two full days of numismatic activity and have been rather thrilled with the resulting business that’s occurred. On day one we reviewed

Coins We Love: Where Coins and Customers Come First

What a week! We’ve launched our first two auctions in the upcoming series of Selections from the Hansen Collection as well as some really nice, new pieces from our travels, packages, and relationships that we’ve cultivated over the past 40 years. I can honestly say that this is

Coins We Love: The Hansen Update

A few weeks ago, Julia, Mike and I had the pleasure of spending a week in Salt Lake City, working with the Hansen Collection. One of our main goals and tasks with the collection as it has grown into thousands of coins, was to organize the collection further and to

Coins We Love: Fall Sports & Coin Books

Fall is definitely upon us, and our travel and show schedule has slowed considerably. It’s always great to be a coin collector, but the Fall is specifically a great time to be a sports fan. Here in Virginia, we're happy to see our Washington Nationals doing well

Coins We Love: A Return to Normalcy

This week was a return to normalcy for us at DLRC. Last week, three of us were holed up in Utah working through the D.L. Hansen Collection as we are working to get the coins housed individually with a new custom label by PCGS in anticipation of exhibiting or

Coins We Love - October 11

Here in Virginia, we are just starting to see and feel the first signs of Fall. Besides breaking out some warmer clothes, this week's projects included finalizing many important coin deals, scanning hundreds of new inventory in to our system and meeting a few important marketing deadlines. We

Coins We Love September 26

While it’s our intention to send these emails out on Thursdays, it seems that things have simply become so busy and hectic that we’re just glad to be able to get this out before the weekend! This week’s delay comes from our active travel schedule as I’

Coins We Love: Your Partner in Collecting

We get the opportunity to speak with collectors, dealers, investors, and those that are just curious as to “what are my coins worth” daily. This is more often an enjoyable experience as we can learn a lot about our customers and frequently, we become friends and build relationships with these

Coins We Love: Mike J's Collection Closing

First of all, thank you for the comments and concerns from our recent scare from Hurricane Dorian. While we didn’t escape completely unscathed, we were thankful that it just brushed our coast and left us without power for a day. We were back up and going by Friday night,

Coins We Love: Hurricane Dorian Watch

Due to Hurricane Dorian’s Arrival, DLRC will be operating at reduced capacity today. As many of you might have noticed, Hurricane Dorian is currently off our coast and making its way up to our coastal city. As a result, we are operating at a reduced capacity and will not

Coins We Love: Back in the Saddle

The mountains of coins and paperwork have gradually declined this week as we’ve had some time to play catch-up in the office. We’re really quite thrilled to see the three day weekend ahead so we can get a little rest and enjoy an extra day with our families.

Coins We Love August 23

The past two weeks have been a whirlwind, and we’re finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. We survived the ANA, the completely unexpected media attention, and the general nature of catching up from being out of the office for a week (while being completely exhausted)

Coins We Love: Live at the ANA!

Update from the ANA Show We’ve had a fantastic show, but we’re exhausted! We’ll have coverage from the show next week, but for now we’ll share a few highlights: Another 1894-S Dime Finds Its Way Home: David Lawrence Rare Coins and D.L. Hansen Acquire Famous

Coins We Love: Ready to Hit the Road Edition

The wait is almost over for the Coin Show Warriors who will be attending the Granddaddy of them all in Rosemont, Illinois this week (I still can’t call Rosemont “Chicago”). We’ll be set-up at the PNG Day event on Monday morning, so if you’re in the area,

Coins We Love: The ANA Preparation Edition

So, this week’s CWL comes to you from a far calmer office in Virginia Beach where we’re slowly packing up coins, marketing materials, and display items for the upcoming week-long ANA event in Rosemont, Illinois. I’ve never been a marathon runner, but I understand that the training

Coins We Love: Key Dates and Shipwrecks Ahoy!

If there’s a downtime in the numismatic calendar, it happens during the month of July. With no major shows to attend, all the focus turns to preparing for the granddaddy of them all, the ANA World’s Fair of Money. As I review my calendar for this year’s

Coins We Love - July 18

This week’s CWL message is really divided into two parts. As promised, we have a Hansen Collection update, but in DLRC-related news, there was a message we wanted to pass along. We made a small tweak to our auction that just started this week, and I wanted to take

July 11th Coins We Love

I’ve had a brief hiatus from writing messages for the CWL in recent weeks…From a quick trip to Utah, the end of the school year, a family vacation, and general catching up at the office and the July 4th Holiday, it’s been a busy month! But, on

Coins We Love - July 4

Happy Fourth of July to our CWL readers! Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, political speeches, ceremonies and U.S. Coins! Well, maybe we threw that last one in, but there are certainly many historical depictions, commemorations and designs

Coins We Love - June 27

With the spike in gold recently to over $1,400 an ounce, we have seen a noticeable increase in customer activity this past week. While the majority of your certified material is not directly affected by this increase in the precious metal, it does seem to always spark interest among

Coins We Love - June 21

We’ve been missing our target release date on the CWL the last few weeks and it’s fallen over into a Friday morning event. It’s not how we like to do things, but it happens on occasion. This week the blame falls squarely on me (as it typically

Coins are our passion and livelihood, and we love being able to help customers from our home office in Virginia Beach. Many of our employees have lived in the area for over 25 years and love everything that the area and state has to offer. We were all shaken by

Coins We Love - May 31

We received a lot of feedback from our faithful friends that showed up at the Baltimore show with far fewer inventories to browse! Please accept our apologies on our lack of attendance, but rest assured we’ll be back this Fall with an even better display of coinage! One perk
