This week finds us gearing up for the three-day holiday weekend! Our office will be closed on Monday, but our website is always open with thousands of coins available for bidding and outright purchase. If you need anything over the weekend, email us. We will be checking our inboxes and
CAC Grading Press Release - Aug. 8th, 2024: In what the President of CAC Grading describes as “the biggest news event in the history of third-party grading,” the owner of the most valuable collection of United States rare coins is now in the process of submitting all of his primary
We’re thrilled to announce that we won the Numismatic Literary Guild (NLG) Award for the Best Dealer Website for 2024! Our programming team of Tyler and Lisandro, along with Andy’s work laying out the content of the site are to be commended! As our most avid readers will
Recently, at the June Whitman Baltimore Expo, I was negotiating a deal of freshly certified silver dollars with a friend and fellow dealer when I noticed that several coins in similar grades had flopped in a recent major auction. In casual conversation, regarding the price, I mentioned those low comps
The Summer FUN Show in Orlando marks the middle of numismatic's summer season. Overall, the show has gained new legs since the Covid pandemic and has turned into a decent regional event, with enough action to warrant attending. While there are fewer dealers here than some of the more moderate-sized
If you’ve been around the numismatic hobby long enough, you know there aren’t a lot of options for education professionally or as a dedicated collector. However, one of the best and longest-running opportunities for all collectors has now been running for over 50 years and two weeks ago,
The summer Baltimore Show has forever been considered an underwhelming show, as many of the larger dealers and the collecting public are vacationing or stepping back to take a break. Our own expectations were somewhat tempered going in, but as soon as we arrived it was surprisingly active! Andy was
One of the most frequent compliments we receive from our customers is how they love the accuracy of our coin images. We appreciate this feedback as we go to great lengths to provide the very best and most accurate images possible. We wanted to take this week's Coins We Love
Today is an important day of remembrance. As I woke up and got ready, I had the opportunity to watch some of the D-Day Remembrance ceremonies that occurred in France this morning. While that was a generation before me, the shocking images, writings, and scenes available of this momentous event
Having been in numismatics nearly all my life as a collector, dealer, and now full-time buyer and numismatist at DLRC, one thing I have never gotten to do is try my hand as a coin grader. That all changed last week when John Albanese and company invited me to guest
I’m sure many of you have heard the saying “Price, quality, value, pick two”. Perhaps that is true sometimes, but in a service industry, it honestly should not be. Selling unnecessary items may be more of an emotional purchase or a tangible investment. A couple of conference calls and
Sometimes the time gets away from you when you’re focusing on tasks that must be finished. Last night I closed up shop a little late because we were working on consignment payments and squaring things up from the recent show. The details of running a business are not always
Coming in live from the Central States Numismatic Society Show in lovely suburban Schaumburg, Illinois! Admittedly, I’ve never been a fan of coming to Schaumburg. The hotel and convention are amazing, many dealers typically show up, but collector attendance is typically poor. This year, however, the public attendance has
This week, April 21st-27th, we celebrate National Coin Week. A week-long tradition established by the American Numismatic Association with the goal of “attracting the general public to our hobby and consequently increasing our membership.” This year is especially important as it marks the 100-year anniversary of the first observance of
The coins keep rolling along here at DLRC. With the explosive bidding action in the most recent Red Carpet Rarities auction, we’re thrilled to have the next group ending this evening. This time the featured lots aren’t all super expensive, high-end gold issues. There’s a variety of
Unfortunately, a last-minute family issue prevented me from attending the ANA Midwinter in Colorado Springs last week, but Andy and John Call held down the fort and made us proud in the middle of a blizzard. This week, I am part of the team going to Baltimore and we’re
There is a growing crescendo of activity here at DLRC, working its way through the office and into the numismatic world. With the onset of our new auction series, the Red Carpet Rarities, we have seen new bidders and new consignors clamoring for a piece of the pie. The deals
This week I’ve been traveling a lot, but it’s allowed me to think about some conversations I’ve had with customers over the last few weeks and about the “culture” of numismatics and how things differ between collectors and collecting styles. It’s quite interesting, as there’s
DLRC is premiering a brand new weekly auction event, closing every Thursday evening, starting in February. The Red Carpet Rarities Auctions will feature a highly curated selection of no more than 100 coins each week, featuring important collections, registry-quality coins, key dates, and other meaningful numismatic items.

Virginia Beach, VA: DLRC is premiering a brand new weekly auction event, closing every Thursday evening, starting in February. The Red Carpet Rarities Auctions will feature a highly curated selection of no more than 100 coins each week, featuring important collections, registry-quality coins, key dates, and other meaningful numismatic items.
We put out a press release today announcing our new Red Carpet Rarities Auction Series! You can read the whole press release here. As we’ve had some amazing collections brought to us in recent months, it’s become increasingly noticeable that collectors want a place to highlight THEIR collections.
These weekly messages can sometimes be challenging to write. I was a stringer in college for a local newspaper and the editor of the sports section in my college newspaper, but that was merely because I wanted free access to sporting events and needed the money to get through college.
Happy Holidays Everyone! We hope that each of you are enjoying some of the quickly approaching winter weather and time with family or friends during this holiday season. The office has been running with limited staffing during the holidays as we have a number of folks out of town with
