A New Year And New Coins Are Coming!

Hello All:

Hopefully you and yours all enjoyed Christmas as much as we did. Now we're looking at a new year and new coins soon to come along with it! A couple of quick updates... 2022 regular Silver Eagles should be released mid-January and we will try to have them ASAP. Give us a call or email for details and we will advise when we have them. If you missed a couple of things before Christmas, we still have a small quantity remaining of 2021 proof sets and a few of the 2021 Morgan Dollars in all mintmarks except Carson City. We're also temporarily out of the 2021 Peace Dollars but will see what we can obtain at reasonable price levels on both these and the CC Morgan issue if we have enough requests. If you are still looking for one...let us know. Details on 2022 Proof Sets, etc. as soon as available. US Gold has been selling but (for now at least) we still have a good selection. 

Thanks to all of you for another great year of loyal patronage.  You are the reason WLRC has existed for what will soon be 34 years! Gee, where has the time gone? We started off with 700 square feet, 4 tiny display cases, one ancient coin counting machine and a dream... now we're the oldest and largest coin dealer in Central Illinois. And we have you to thank.

Happy New Year from your friends at Westlake Rare Coins.

Holiday Updates!

Hello And Merry Christmas!

It's been a pretty hectic holiday season here at WLRC. We have enjoyed seeing a lot of familiar faces coming in to get those holiday goodies, be it for others or for themselves! Christmas silver rounds are sold out but if you missed these and still need some let us know and we'll see what is available after the holidays. Proof silver eagles are also sold out. If you need some last minute gifts we still have some 2021 proof sets and 2nd reverse design uncirculated silver eagles available along with a nice selection of older silver dollars, US Type, US Gold and nice assorted collector coins in all price ranges. We also have a full range of supplies as well as gift certificates that are available in any amount for that special collector on your gift list.

FYI...We'll be closed on Christmas Eve (Dec. 24) and on New Year's Eve (Dec. 31) but will otherwise be open our usual 10-5 business hours the rest of those respective weeks.

We hope you and yours have a happy and enjoyable Holiday season and thank you for being part of our numismatic family this year!

Regards,

Jack And Dennis

Availability Updates & More

Hello Again!

The Second Reverse Proof American Silver Eagles are temporarily sold out. We will try to acquire some more in advance of holiday gift giving time. We still have some uncirculated versions however. Check back with us for updates.

Our stock of World Gold coins has been exhausted. We have a nice group of collectible US Gold coins in $1, $2.50, $5, $10 and $20 denominations but they are selling well, so stop by now while we still have a nice selection! It's a great time to get those early holiday gifts as well, for yourself or that special collector!

2021 Mint Sets have arrived so stop by to get yours while they last. We also have regular and silver 2021 proof sets. Suggest getting these early for gift giving because shipping uncertainties may preclude getting new stock in a timely manner.

Morgan And Peace Commem Dollars are still in limbo, as usual. You'll know when we know!

More updates as we have them.

New Gold Acquisitions & More

Hello All!

New purchases highlight this update...starting with US Gold in pretty much every denomination from $1 through $20 (except the $4 Stella that is!) along with a decent selection of gold coinage from other countries and some bullion gold issues. You will never have a better opportunity to start or add to a gold type set collection. Stop in ASAP for details and the best selection. For you silver stackers, we also have reloaded some 90% silver coins in bulk along with a few hundred nice circulated Morgan and Peace Dollars. As you know, many dealers are running low on or out of these items so take advantage while we still have some left! No holds, no dealers, all prices net. In-store sales only. It's first come-first served on all these new items. We want our customers to have first shot at these while they last.

The US Mint is again dragging its feet on releasing some of the new second reverse Proof Silver Eagles and severely reducing order limits so this frankly looks like it will be a potential problem for availability of the Proof version. The uncirculated regular Silver Eagles will hopefully be in hand soon but will also be a lower mintage item. Check back for updates. On a brighter note-We do have some of the McAuliffe and Law Enforcement silver dollars available. Stop in for a look.

More updates as we have them.

Thanks!
