Coins We Love - November 15

It’s almost turkey time! This week is all about preparing for the Thanksgiving week ahead. Gary Adkins will be representing DLRC at the Michigan State Numismatic Society Convention on November 23-24. Contact us [coins@davidlawrence.com] if you would like to see anything from our inventory at the show

We’ve sufficiently recovered from the Baltimore show, just in time to stare into our vault and realize how many coins we must process ahead of us! It is a bit daunting, but we’re thankful for the opportunity and excited for the next few months where we can get

Coins We Love - November 1

The Baltimore show was a rousing success for DLRC. The pre-show activity was on par with what we expected because of it being the last big event of 2018 in the numismatic world, and dealers were incredibly active searching for new items for inventory. We also happened across a nice

This week finds us wrapping up the last major show of the year in Baltimore, Maryland. This year’s Winter episode of the popular Whitman show has started off fantastically well. In fact, we haven’t had a single complaint about the show’s hosting this week, it’s been

This week’s CWL is coming to you a day later than normal, and we apologize for the intrusion before your weekend! However, it’s been a busy week as always at DLRC and with the Baltimore show coming up next week, we’ve decided to bring more coins for

Coins We Love - October 11

Sometimes I write these messages late at night as it seems to be the quietest part of my day. It feels a bit Doogie Howser-ish for those of you who remember the television show about the teenager doctor. Not that we’re young prodigies, but every time I sit down,

Coins We Love - October 4

After a short trip to the PCGS Vegas Show last week, we are all back in the office and working hard to process the many new coins that we brought back from the show. We’ve also been working through a nice number of packages that arrived while we were

The Hansen Effect What is the Hansen Effect? Well, one of my close dealer friends once told me, when you have a partner that is a collector, you’re going to run into a host of different issues. You’re going to start getting offered a lot of coins and

We were very thankful to have avoided Hurricane Florence here at DLRC, and we appreciate your thoughtful emails regarding the past week. While things fell behind a day or two, we’ve recovered quite well. Next week will find us in Las Vegas for the PCGS Invitational Show, so if

Coins We Love - September 13

Well, when the week began, we didn’t expect to be in the office today. However, Hurricane Florence took a slight dive further south, which spared us the direct hit this weekend. Our thoughts and prayers are with our friends in NC, SC, and GA as they deal with the

This week finds Gary Adkins attending the Long Beach show representing DLRC. Unfortunately, it simply fell too close to the recent ANA show for us to post a formidable display and to attend the show with full force. We plan on being back in February for the first event of

If you’ve visited our website this week, you can see that we’ve been extra busy tweaking our new home page. If you haven’t, please visit [www.davidlawrence.com] soon and let us know what you think! Our goal is to always display our inventory in the most

We’ve returned home from the ANA World’s Fair of Money and have had a few days to get things sorted out. However, to say that it was one of our busiest and most successful shows in recent years would be an understatement. I thought about making this message

We’re coming to you live and in color (or patina?) from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, home of this year’s World’s Fair of Money. We’ve already had an incredibly busy week so far, and we’ve barely had a moment to come up for air. Thankfully, we’ve had

Coins We Love - August 9

It’s still warm and humid in our lovely home of Virginia Beach, VA, but we see the number of tourists is starting to dwindle, the kids are bouncing off the walls, and the ANA preparations are coming at us full-steam. It only means that the summer is ending, and

Coins We Love - August 2

This week is clearly the calm before the storm. The typical numismatic summer always concludes with the annual ANA World’s Fair of Money, with this year’s event occurring in relatively nearby Philadelphia, PA. So, this week is our week of solidifying the events and auctions in our office

Coins We Love - July 26

This week, I had to make a last-minute visit to Utah to do some work on the collection of our partner, Dell Loy Hansen. I try to make a regular visit every few months to work on organizing his collection, but this was one of the shorter trips, about 24

Coins We Love - July 19

This week’s CWL highlights some really neat pieces that are not typically seen at DLRC or elsewhere. The high end CAC’d Large Cent, beautiful SLQ, and the Proof $10 are all pieces that typically would be sole highlights for an auction, but are thrown together in this week’

This week finds most of us in the office while Gary paces the bourse floor at the Summer FUN show in Orlando. While this makes for a very boring message in this week’s CWL, it hopefully will bring hundreds of new coins to the website. So, we have a

Happy 4th of July week from DLRC! The office is a little quiet due to yesterday’s holiday, but it’s a welcome change that allows us time to process all the great new customer consignments and Baltimore show purchases. July is also the only month of the year that

We’ve had a hectic end of the month that culminated in last week’s Whitman Baltimore Expo. In general, the show was fine for us. We sold a few coins, visited with some friends, and came home with a wide variety of fresh new purchases. However, overall the show

This week’s CWL is coming to you from the 38 minute flight between Baltimore, Maryland and Norfolk, Virginia. I departed Baltimore a bit earlier than normal due to the amount of backed-up work in the office. Being on the road three straight weeks (although I did have two nights

This week’s auction offerings are a little different than normal as we are offering the Mutiny Bay Collection of Shipwreck Coins [https://www.davidlawrence.com/en-us?collectionIds=275049]. The collection features U.S. issues that were recovered from shipwrecks in the last decade as well as several Spanish Colonial

This week at DLRC I was on vacation, well, in theory. When you have a job that you love and that is as fun as this one, you never really need or want a vacation. The annual week after school ends is our traditional week of vacation, so it’s

Coins We Love - May 31

We are battling through a short week after the Memorial Day holiday, and even though the month of May is closing on us, we’re excited about the summer beginning in Virginia Beach. The schools are closing soon, the tourists are on their way to the beaches, and we find
