I miss Gary Adkins site & my kiddo misses the candy they sent with each purchase
...let me know if/when Tom Brady signs with the Raiders will ya
Wow. Interesting indeed.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
This is a tremendous endorsement for David Lawrence.

Perhaps they'll resurrect the grading service with all the new cash. It seems Mr. Loy has a way with businesses.
Wow!
Sounds like a new money man for that business.

JB is a bright and aggressive kid. It will be interesting to watch how this plays out
Does Mr Hansen post here?
Yes, He has like 4 posts.
Later, Paul.
Interesting.... could portend some interesting developments in the numismatic business world. Cheers, RickO
IMO, this thread might have been more accurately titled "David Lawrence has a new benefactor."

AFAIK, the best way to get into a business you know nothing about is to Buy into it!
Maybe with the new found capital they can invest in a DSLR, macro lense and a photography intern and throw the scanner in the garbage.

I don’t care who you are... that there was funny.
I don’t know Mr. Hansen, but it might not be accurate to refer to him as someone who knows nothing about the business. Numismatics clearly hasn’t been the focus of his life’s work, but that does not make him ignorant.
@BryceM said: "I don’t know Mr. Hansen, but it might not be accurate to refer to him as someone who knows nothing about the business. Numismatics clearly hasn’t been the focus of his life’s work, but that does not make him ignorant."
Very few of us have met him. Nevertheless, recently, he has decided to become a very active collector with the goal of assembling the best collection ever. The coin business is complicated. It is lucky for many of you that there is a TPGS "crutch" or your eyes and wallets would have been plucked-out by now and you'd be rubbing your butt!
Apparently, Mr. Hansen is a wise enough BUSINESSMAN to realize that he is not qualified at the moment to price and grade coins like as a successful professional in this BUSINESS! That's the reason he has enlisted the aid of others who are more informed than many here."
Claiming that I said he is "ignorant" is well...! I do know this: All the money in the world does not make a person a numismatist no matter how good a businessman they are.
After Mr. Hansen completes his 10K hours...
@Dell has wisely concluded he can get better gossip (eg. grading, rarity, beanology, access), elsewhere
Well, we have the candy to send in your next order if you send me an email!

That is certainly not in the long-term plans. That was an interesting experience, but we'd rather be better at what we do than get into something like that at the moment.

Congratulations to David Lawrence on this partnership. It says a lot to secure a working relationship with the preeminent collector of our time.
Sorry folks, I'm a day late to the thread as we've been pretty busy with the year-end stuff this week. But, I appreciate the kind comments.
For those that weren't so kind, please let me know what we can do better. I'd love to chat with you and see how we can improve.
I've been working with Mr. Hansen as a client for a while, but I'm looking forward to having him as a partner in the new year. We're not planning on any major changes at the moment, but we'll see how we can improve DLRC and we'll look forward to continuing to work on Mr. Hansen's already amazing collection.

John...No offense but I can do better with a point and shoot than the pictures your company uses. I believe your sales would improve greatly if you were able to provide accurate in hand pictures.
Best,Darrell
I love the DGS holders.
Maybe now they will be able to afford a better cameraman.
After a few hours of reflection on this issue David Lawrence would seem to be a big winner. And if there might be a loser I think it would be Legend Numismatics. I have bought many coins from Legend and a few from David Lawrence and have been very impresed with Legend's advice as being the best in the business, but will not say DL's advice is not as good. But Legend seems to me to have a better reputation of representing collectors. Perhaps some you on this forum can relate your experience with DL(not Dell Loy) vs. LS........ and another option for Dell Loy might have been Kevin Lipton.

...I like how the Boss comes here and responds always with respect and honesty...I don’t say much, but I will say this. DLRC is one of the only company’s that I have bought from on eBay and then gone outside of eBay for the other 4 or 5 times I have purchased...I made the decision to cut eBay’s juice going forward, not them...they never mentioned it...every single time I called they were right there and ready to make a deal. Never pushy and always straight up...I do agree that better photos might work if you have a fatter purse at the shoulder...but nevertheless I would bet them in the street that says this partnership will be successful. When something already works well then extra capital usually only helps growth & prosperity...I actually prefer buying coins in plastic from scans (on eBay at least) and I always buy under-$500 on 90% of my buys.
So Great Luck to them and Absolutley I would do business with them again! They are good people in my book
I have never heard of Dell... Really, not once..
...check the hot thing hooked up to your keyboard that isn’t your monitor...odds are 15/85 but worth a shot
This is really interesting and exciting news. First, what Dell Hansen has done with his own collection is really incredible and should be applauded. He took on an almost impossible challenge and is much closer to the finish line than most everyone thought was imaginable. His current coin holdings are truly impressive and the quality I see is far better than many predicted early on (the number of wonder coins in his collection is breathtaking).
Becoming a partner in DLRC to me shows his love of coins. I can never be critical of someone's passion for this hobby. Clearly Mr. Hansen is more than someone with just a lot of money but a true lover of coins. I am sure it will only make DLRC better.
David, I hear Charles Browne may be also coming on board. If so , great addition and a real good guy.

Here are a couple up on eBay. Too much yellow or brown and many of your images are like that.
Possibly as simple as a white balance adjustment.
Please take it as constructive criticism , it is just not acceptable in this day and age when nearly every major dealer and EVERY boutique dealer delivers outstanding pictures leveraging one or many different sources for great photography.

Congrats to @DLRCollectors this sounds like a great partnership in the making
Best place to buy !

Dell Loy brings a lot more to the party for DLRC than just financial backing. He has learned an amazing amount in just 18 months. Do not underestimate him. Anyone who has met him knows he does not do things half a**ed. That has been a big reason for his success all these years in all his endeavors. With John at the helm, they are really poised to do whatever they decide going forward.
Congrats to John (and and Dell Loy)!
Yes, interesting
Successful transactions with : MICHAELDIXON, Manorcourtman, Bochiman, bolivarshagnasty, AUandAG, onlyroosies, chumley, Weiss, jdimmick, BAJJERFAN, gene1978, TJM965, Smittys, GRANDAM, JTHawaii, mainejoe, softparade, derryb, Ricko
Bad transactions with : nobody to date
This can't be repeated enough. There's a few really great coin dealers that have to come to terms with this. In the end they will likely regret not doing this years ago.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
I have to agree with the photography. The site is very easy to use, and Ive bought from you before, but the photography leaves a lot to be desired, and there are some coins I passed on as a result.
This can easily be improved. And I suspect it will with Dell Loy's influence.
Dell Loy, who is the best coin collector of our time, will bring DLRC to new heights.
Also when a shopper clicks on, let's say the Half Dime category for example, the category shouldn't silently blend into the dime category as the shopper scrolls down the page. Nothing should be viewable except what is within the chosen category. As someone who frequently browses your inventory, that would be a great thing to address.
Good luck in your new venture & I wish you great success!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Thanks! Indeed, Charlie is in the process of moving and is starting with us in a week or so. We're looking forward to having him join us!

Thanks! Dell has more energy that anyone I've ever met...and his excitement about the hobby is infectious. I'm looking forward to working with him.

I'm really happy for everyone involved. I truly am. But I'll NEVER, ever, ever, buy another coin from DLRC until they come up to today's standard for coin imaging on the internet. WHATEVER.
Wow, tremendous!
