Dansco Albums & US Mint Products Update

Hello All!

Well, for everyone still waiting For Dansco albums, the ongoing "will they or won't they start shippping soon" saga continues, but we do know that they just announced a 30% price increase on all products across the board and (supposedly) will be shipping popular titles soon (as if we haven't heard that before, right?). This equates to an increase of around $8 to $12 per album depending on size/capacity. We will advise as these products become available once again...in the interim, feel free to inform us of your wants and we will adjust our orders accordingly. We will advise when the 800 pound gorilla of coin albums dains to grace us with some product. If they ever develop any serious competitors perhaps they'll not be quite so independent. Here's hoping.

On the US Mint products front, 2021 Silver Proof Sets are now in stock. Christa McAuliffe commemorative dollars will be back in house shortly and it looks like the second reverse design proof Silver Eagles will land in early July, assuming there is no craziness with shortages like we had with the "first reverse" issues. We will keep you informed so keep checking in.

Thanks and be well!

Spring Acquisitions, Market News & More

Hello All:

Nicer temperatures and longer days are starting to finally arrive, and with spring comes a crop of new acquisitions. Our first group of ancient coins was so well received that we sought out and acquired a new batch of silver ancient Roman denarii fom various rulers along with some new Morgan Dollars, US type and more. Call or stop in for details.

2021 US Mint products are slowly arriving but availability is extremely limited. We managed to acquire a small group of 2021 proof silver eagles before they became unavailable from the mint. These are the last with the old reverse design and are available on a first come first served basis, limit 3 per customer.  Same applies to uncirculated Silver Eagles. The second reverse Silver Eagles should be available this summer but will advise as the release dates keep changing. 2021 Regular Proof Sets should arrive soon. We will advise as they are available. Let us know if you want any of the Christa McAuliffe or Law Enforcement commemoratives as we are formulating an order and are gauging interest so that we can adjust quantities accordingly.

The silver and gold markets have been bouncing about but the demand for physical coins and bullion is overwhelming, with many dealers out or nearly out of product. Our turnover here has been huge on all bullion, 90% silver coins and gold so call us to confirm availability. We cannot guarantee availability or price beyond day to day levels at this time.

Stay tuned for more updates!

New Year, New Start, New Purchases!

Hello All!

We hope the holidays were great for everyone. 2021 is now here, and with the new year come some new things from your friends at WLRC! We just acquired some outstanding new Ancient Roman silver and bronze coinage along with some excellent Morgan Dollars (including some harder to find dates). New purchases also include some nice type coins in Capped Bust Half Dollars, Seated Liberty Halves, Large Cents and a few seldom seen Seated Liberty Dollars. 

2021 issues will be sporadic but we will advise as they become available. Uncirculated Silver Eagles should be here soon...the proof versions were scheduled for release at the end of January but rumor has it they will be pushed back a bit. Covid restrictions are still causing some production, shipping and delivery issues but we're committed to having the new items ASAP.

That's it for now. Keep checking with us for updates!
