Coins We Love - May 24

Every year on May 24th, we honor the memory of our founder, David Lawrence Feigenbaum, who passed away from ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) on this date in 2002. Without his vision and hard work, DLRC would have never come into being. In addition this week, our hearts are heavy

The greatest thing about this hobby and business is that you never know what comes next. Every day is different: Some feel productive, some do not. In the end, it is always an adventure, and 99% of the time, it’s a real blast. For the first time in a

First of all, I want to get this out there: We’re Sorry. It hasn’t been a model week for DLRC, but some weeks are better than others! We’ve had a few of our point-people out sick and just a bit more chaos than we’re used to

This week at DLRC is another time of recovery from the Central States Show, and a chance for us to catch-up with packages in the office. Morgan Dollars seem to be the item of choice to sell this week as we’ve bought a few collections of those that will

Our apologies for the delay in getting the weekly CWL message to everyone. We were attending the Central States Show in Schaumburg, Illinois this week and have had our hands pretty busy serving collectors at the show. Overall, the show was fair. The attendance of these gatherings has declined in

I drive home every Wednesday night trying to figure out what my next message in the CWL will be. On occasion I get a guest writer in the office, but I actually enjoy writing these in the evenings and sharing my thoughts. I was a newspaper editor/writer in college

In talking with collectors of all types on a regular basis, we get feedback on selling options that they have utilized, not only from ourselves, but across the realm of coin dealers and other non-numismatic businesses. The two largest frustrations that we hear from our friends are: 1. They want

The first in our exciting quarterly series, The Numismatic Masters Internet Auctions, featuring offerings from the collection of D.L Hansen, has just ended with tremendous results. We would like to extend our thanks to all those who participated in this auction, making it one of our most successful online

Spring has finally arrived in Virginia Beach, at least for a day or two. While we were trudging through the snow in Baltimore last week, we’re thinking of walking on the beach this afternoon. As it is often said, if you don’t like the weather in Virginia Beach,

This week found us in Baltimore, Maryland for the “Spring” Whitman Expo. It was technically the first days of spring, but the weather did not agree. Attendance was limited due to the snowstorm that came through town on Wednesday, causing coin dealers to slip and slide through the streets of

It’s been nice to actually be home this week after a month of travelling across the states to visit collectors and coin shows. Last week was the ANA’s National Money Show in Irving, Texas, and next week is our first of the triannual visits to the Whitman Baltimore

You’ve seen a little bit about what our goals are at DLRC in recent weeks. Well, we went a little further to interview a few of our employees in the Virginia Beach office. While you won’t see the faces of Mary Lee or Mary Hoffman, who control the

I wrote a little bit about the Long Beach show last Thursday while the show was still early, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t comment a bit further this week. You may have read about this previously from others, but for those of you who have missed

This week finds us visiting the west coast for the Long Beach Coin Show. The February show is typically one of the better varieties with this year’s episode hosting the fascinating return of the “Ship of Gold Exhibit” with new findings from the legendary Shipwreck of the SS Central

A lot of you ask about our company and what our goals are as a whole. We often struggle to answer this question, but we asked a friend of ours to help us make a video to describe what exactly is DLRC, and he did a pretty good job. We

We’d like to take time in this week’s CWL to introduce a new member of our staff Chris Maisano. Chris interned for us last summer and liked the office, staff and working with coins so well that he accepted a full time position with us and started January

Well, another week and another snow storm in Virginia Beach. I write this as the snow is falling outside of my window with a pleasant dusting of an inch or two on the lawn. Unfortunately, the roads are far less pleasant here as we don’t have the infrastructure in

The curse of the FUN show...with such an ominous beginning, you’d think that there was something negative about the show. Honestly, the only negative from the show was trying to get our badges to get in! The attendance was booming, and it caused an unexpected rush of humanity

Things have slowed down a little at the office this week, so much so that we have been able to decorate for the holidays. Don't let that fool you though, we are already preparing for the FUN Show the first week of January and for some great auctions

This week at DLRC we tried to spend some time recovering from the Thanksgiving holiday and the resulting business that occurred over the four day weekend. In fact, we had a record number of orders to ship out on Monday and while our shipping department went home exhausted, it was
