Coins We Love - November 16

The Baltimore show was a great success for us at DLRC. Our new expanded table space near the front of the show allowed us to double our inventory that we could bring and it helped exceed all expectations. In fact, it was one of the busiest collector-based shows that we’

This week finds us in the East Coast Coin Capital of Baltimore, Maryland. The Winter Whitman Expo is in full force this week, and DLRC is enlarging their presence for this perennially popular show. With a new expanded double corner table near the front of the bourse, we have brought

This week’s CWL features a grouping of non-auction coins that are discounted to our very minimum values. We try to do this every week with our regular offerings in the CWL, but this week we picked a few older examples that haven’t found new homes, and priced them

Coins We Love - October 26

This week we were supposed to be in attendance of the PCGS Member’s Only Show in historic Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. However, due to the number of fresh collections arriving in the office over the past few weeks, we’ve had to stay here and crank through the top priority items.

This week I was offered the honor of joining a handful of the country’s leading numismatic companies in Washington, DC, for the 2nd Annual U.S. Mint Numismatic Forum. I was able to attend and hear about the new products for the upcoming year watching various presentations about how

Coins We Love - October 12

The comings and goings of DLRC are quite dull in our eyes at times, as it’s difficult to truly explain how every day is different. In Minnesota, Gary has been acquiring several collections that are slowly making their way to Virginia, while also serving the ANA and its membership

Coins We Love - October 5

The weather is starting to feel like Fall in Virginia, and while it’s typically a slower time in the numismatic hobby, it’s turning into a relatively crazy month of October. There are no major shows until the Philadelphia PCGS Invitational Show at the end of the month; however,

Coins We Love - September 28

As the third quarter finishes up this week, we look ahead to a slower show schedule through the Fall and Holiday season. This is the time of year that we can concentrate on some put off website upgrades, tackle larger coin deals of lessor value items, and re-think some internal

Coins We Love -Special Guest Edition

We’re back from a hiatus last week due to some travel and a stomach bug, but we’ve decided to address this week with a different flavor. One question that we’re always asking each other in the office is “what do you think of this coin” or “why

Coins We Love - September 7

It’s been an active week at DLRC, with a small crew attending the Long Beach show from which I (John Brush) am just now returning. It was an active event, on par with what was expected, and we were able to source a few neat deals on top of

First of all, we wish every one of you an enjoyable Labor Day. Our office will be closed on Monday to enjoy time with our families, but we’ll be shipping out our auction winnings and other purchases on Tuesday as always. In addition, Mike, Gary, and I (John Brush)

Coins We Love - August 24

This week at DLRC, we’ve spent some time cleaning up a large group of collections that have been sent to us in recent weeks. While you see most of the nicer material on our website, we also buy a large amount of complete collections that include everything from soup

Coins We Love - August 17

We’ve been honored to deal with many different types of collectors and collections over the years. While the expensive, rare coins are always fun to sell, and it’s an honor to be the caretaker of those pieces for just a short while, we also really enjoy the grassroots

This year’s ANA World’s Fair of Money held in Denver has finally wrapped up, and we’ve been trying to tackle all the paperwork, coins, and loose ends from the show. While things went smoothly, it’s never easy to be absent from the DLRC Headquarters for a

Coins We Love - July 27

This week has been a week of catching up and preparing for the marathon of the upcoming Denver ANA show. It’s always a great week of meeting old friends, collectors and dealers, and a chance to catch up on what’s new in the hobby. This year we also

Coins We Love - July 20

This week’s CWL comes amidst a chaos of office rearranging. While we have desks and ladders floating around the office and Gem BU rolls of Lincoln Cents moving around on carts, we’ve also sorted through a ton of collectible numismatic books that have begged for some attention in

Coins We Love - July 13

We’ve reached mid-July when we get a short three week hiatus from major (or minor) coin shows, and finally get the opportunity to catch up with all the coins that we’ve been processing in recent months. In fact, we have a record number of coins that we have

I’d like to take a moment to congratulate our very own Gary Adkins on winning the election for the office of President of the American Numismatic Association. Gary has worked hard as a member of the Board of Governors, and as Vice President, and will continue to do so

Coins We Love - June 29

Last week’s Baltimore show was a huge surprise for us. We expected a slightly slower event due to the typical lighter summer traffic, but upon our arrival early Tuesday, we were bombarded with buying and selling opportunities. In fact, our regular show routine was abandoned immediately, and we weren’

Coins We Love - June 15

Why do we love coins? We as numismatists by nature, are intrigued with the challenge of building and hopefully completing collections. The desire to collect things is largely inherent in most men. If you love coin collecting, I can assuredly say that you (like us) have other collecting interests as

It's starting to feel like summer in Virginia as schools are starting to let out and the weather has shifted from days in the 50s to weekends in the 90s. This week Gary and Mike are holding down the fort at the Long Beach show while we process

Despite the shortened week due to the holiday, we have been plugging away setting up another auction and preparing for the summer. We’re pleased to offer another fantastic CWL with several key date highlights and some other numismatic rarities. Next week we will be setting up at the Long

Today marks the 15th Anniversary of our founder, David Lawrence Feigenbaum’s passing. From the humble beginnings of a collector and later a vest-pocket dealer, DLRC has grown to be a national company. While David was not around to see all of the amazing growth that occurred under his son,

We’ve hit a small break in the recent run of shows at DLRC, and it has allowed us to catch up on imaging, organization, and getting to know our kids a bit better. However, the market as a whole has not slowed down. Despite this lull, we’ve been

Coins We Love - May 11

The numismatic world is enjoying some brief downtime between major shows and auctions for about a month. It’s a much needed hiatus from the traveling and gives us a chance to catch up in the office. Surprisingly, we’ve been moving several mid 5-figure coins in the last week,
