Coins We Love - May 23

It’s Memorial Day Weekend and the beaches are beginning to get busy in our neck of the woods of Virginia Beach. The weekend officially kicks off summer, but the rather mild weather has been quite a surprise as over the past few days. In the coin business, our schedule

This week’s CWL is full of coins of all sizes, colors, values, and shapes (as long as you only consider round). With new purchases from recent shows mixing with the numerous items that have come into our office over the past few weeks, we have a wide variety of

Thanks for all the comments regarding last week’s message on the Spike 150 Event at the Utah State Capitol. I was impressed by the number of connections that many of you had to that bit of history, and I love hearing back from the readers. Sitting at the keyboard

We’re a week past the Central States Show, and we concluded that the show was a success for DLRC. While it was not successful from a collector-based standpoint, the wholesale market was quite active. Unfortunately, Schaumburg isn’t the right location for a large coin show for collectors, but

This week’s CWL comes to you live from Schaumburg, Illinois, the home of the Central States Numismatic Society Show. While some may say we are in Chicago, the only Chicago-like part of here is the pizza and the traffic. That being said, it’s a convenient suburb, and it

It’s spring break for most families here in Virginia Beach, and we’ve been operating with a slightly less than full office this week. If you’re having a hard time getting in touch with us, please be patient and we’ll certainly catch up. And, if you’re

Some of you may know that I’m from upstate South Carolina originally, but my father went to high school in Augusta, Georgia. Despite it only being 90 miles from my hometown of Anderson, I only visited two or three times. As I’ve gotten older and have learned to

One of the best things about the coin business is that while we’re continually dealing in coins, no day is ever the same. Telling customers what we do and how we’re different is also unique from dealer to dealer. However, one thing that I’ve been noticing when

This week’s CWL comes a day late, but hopefully not a dollar short. It’s been a hectic week at DLRC handling some internal clean-up and sorting through several massive raw deals that were purchased in recent weeks. While these take a lot of time to sort, it takes

Coins We Love: Does One Size Fit All?

First of all, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who responded to our message last week. I didn’t expect such sincere, heartfelt responses, but it was much appreciated, and it’s always great to get feedback from our customers and friends. This week, I found myself traveling

This week I found myself moving houses as my father has moved in with my family. What makes it interesting is that my father is the reason I became a coin collector as a child, and that led me down the path of life that I find myself at DLRC.

Some weeks are easier to pontificate on the ongoings of DLRC than others. This week has been an absolute whirlwind. We’re back from our abbreviated trip to Baltimore in full strength, and we’ve had another record week of orders on Monday (Shout out to Mike, Mary, Katie, and

This week the CWL comes to you directly from the Whitman Baltimore Coin Show. While the weather across the country delayed some arrivals, it’s quite brisk but pleasant in Baltimore, our second home as coin dealers. Unfortunately, I think we’re more familiar with the Inner Harbor area of

This week we’ve been preparing for our next upcoming show in Baltimore, Maryland. We’re hoping that the snow storm fizzles out and that everyone makes it to the event this year. This tends to be an issue for the Spring show on occasion, but it’s one of

The more things change, the more they stay the same. We hear that saying often, but what does it really mean? For us at DLRC, it just means that the coins change on a daily basis. Whether it's rolls of Ike Dollars, a collection of early $10 Liberty

This week’s CWL comes to you from lovely, sunny Virginia Beach. The temperature hit 70 today and it was quite beautiful. Unfortunately for our friends and partners in Utah, they were snowed in yesterday! At times like this, we are certainly thankful for our Southern roots! Our CWL this

Thanks for all the questions to comment on in the past week. I received one interesting question that I thought was worth responding to as it goes straight to the heart of how we believe we should treat our customers. We have always been collector-friendly and valued the input of

We’ve basically recovered from our recent foray down to sunny Florida, and while some of our dealer friends are braving the trip out west to the Granddaddy of them All (Long Beach), we’ve decided to stay home and continue to clear up all of the coins we’ve

As our consistent readers know, we skipped a CWL last week in favor of a press release on a fascinating purchase for the Hansen Collection last week. However, we would be remiss if we didn’t include a few thoughts on our activities at the FUN Show. The weather was

The new year has begun with a bang, and we hope that everyone is slowly getting back into the swing of things after a slight break. The office is finally back to full strength the remainder of the week and there is certainly a buzz of excitement as the FUN

We hope that everyone has recovered from the holiday season and is preparing for the New Year and what 2019 might hold out for you and your collection. In our last CWL of the year, we like to wrap up a review of the past year, but this year has been bit more difficult than most.

This week at DLRC, we have been doing some house-cleaning. It’s been a rather adventurous year overall for us, and we’ve been looking to December to give us some time to get a handle on the projects that have gone by the wayside during the year. As we

This week reminds us of all that we have to be thankful for. One note from our longest tenured team member at DLRC, Mary Lee, stated that she is thankful for a wonderful job. If any of you have had the opportunity to work with Mary Lee, you may have
