I just sent in two coins to DLRC for "trade credit" towards a coin I just purchased from them and they made me an extremely generous offer. They also negotiatedwith me on the price of the coin I purchased. In all I got the deal I wanted, and getting it was completely hassle-free.

Man, that was so much better then trying to sell those two coins on eBay myself.

DLRC rocks!

Never had a bad experience with DLRC>

TomB · January 27, 2009 3:45AM

I have done two deals with DLRC and both have gone exceptionally smoothly.

Longacre · January 27, 2009 4:00AM

They're an excessively good company to work with.

collegecoincollector · January 27, 2009 4:04AM

I love DLRC!!!! right on! the only reason I hesitate sometimes though is I get hit with the VA state sales tax

I have purchased a few items from them. They are a pleasure to deal with. They promptly refunded my money when I returned one of their coins.

al410 · January 27, 2009 4:10AM

I have purchased 2 coins from them and both transactions were smooth and the coins were great.

CoinJunkie · January 27, 2009 4:10AM

I have had a few transactions with them over the years, and have always been very satisfied.
Definitely one of the "good guys" in my book.

keepdachange · January 27, 2009 4:12AM

I've had 30 or so purchases from them as well as auctioning some of my stuff. Every transaction was handled with perfection. Get a good bit of items from their "make us an offer" coins. They also are very prompt on returning emails and/or phone calls. A+ company to deal with

Coxe · January 27, 2009 4:13AM

I had not considered doing that myself. Interesting. After all, that is a coin dealership promarily and not an auction company, like they appear nowadays more. Maybe I can cook up a symbiotic trade sometime too. BTW, I have not been disappointed with DLRC at all in my transactions. Well....I am not quite sure how to keep up with all of those pens. They do come in handy now and then though for sure.

I've never been unhappy with a coin bought from DLRC!
You can add J. J. Teaparty to that small list.

ditto!

just be careful not to overpay but that goes for every dealer.
top notch.

etexmike · January 27, 2009 4:16AM

I've done a few deals with DLRC and no complaints here.

Elcontador · January 27, 2009 4:18AM

I bought one coin from them. Customer service was very good, and they were very candid about the coin (they pointed out that it had a long, thin hairline scratch in the lt. obverse field that wasn't evident in the image, and could only been when tilting the coin at a specific angle). Pricing was fair. The coin was so-so for the grade. I would do business with them again, though I'd want to see the coin in person first.

Dave99B · January 27, 2009 4:41AM

Agreed....nothing but very smooth transactions with that gang. A class act.

Fairlaneman · January 27, 2009 4:45AM

The Mercury Dime selection is no where as nice as it was a few years ago. It seems like they are getting just so so coins to me. I rarely buy from them anymore.

The one selling experience I tried to have with them was very disappointing. Low ball offers on all of the coins. I had them return all of the coins. This happened about 5 years ago and maybe it is different now.

NH484000 · January 27, 2009 4:47AM

Bought from them once, and was happy.

But, I do wish that they's stop sending me emails every 6 hours to tell me that "another DLRC auction is ending tonight".

KentuckyJ · January 27, 2009 5:25AM

Good people to deal with, buying or selling

lcoopie · January 27, 2009 5:35AM

I've had good experiences with them also

dbldie55 · January 27, 2009 5:47AM

Never had a problem with them. I do miss the raw coins. Used to be a great source for Barber's for the dansco.

bestday · January 27, 2009 6:47AM

<< Not at all impressed with them. >>

Dealt with DLRC many times over the last several years, both buying and selling ....AAAA + people and service

BaronVonBaugh · January 27, 2009 7:24AM

I have bought one coin from them, but that went very smoothly.

They certainly do! I've had very good luck dealing with them.

sweetwilliet · January 27, 2009 9:07AM

I've bought about 3 or 4 coins form them, no problems at all. I am kicking myself that it's not 5, though, I didn't hit a buy it now a week or so ago on a very reasonably priced cc dmpl.

scoobydeux · January 27, 2009 9:14AM

One transaction--they were very professional and honest.

PawPaul · January 27, 2009 10:11AM

i can think of none more fair-

all dealerships should strive to be like them .

mheffner2 · January 27, 2009 12:51PM

Have any of you submitted to them for their grading service?

illini420 · January 27, 2009 2:01PM

Bought from them for the first time recently and was very satisfied. Just made a second purchase too

tcmitssr · January 27, 2009 2:53PM

They're nice guys and honest. However, I think they lowball their buy offers. Also, I haven't been "wow" impressed with the overall appeal of the coins I collect that I've seen on their website.

Glad your deal worked out though and that you're a happy camper.

And to think no-one provided a link with all that good cheer.

Thank you to everyone for your positive comments here. I can assure you that this customer satisfaction is no accident. Everyone here from the numismatic trading department to shipping have a 100% commitment to customer service and building long term relationships. This is the example taught to me by my father and as we have grown the business over the years we've never lost sight of that most-important mandate.

We also feel that it's important for us (and other dealers!) to be leaders in the numismatic community so collectors can feel confident in putting their hard-earned money into the coin collections. To that end, we offer all sorts of programs to ensure that clients maximize the value of their coins when they sell, like Guaranteed Auctions, or fair consignment rates (no buyback fees in most cases, etc).

When you deal with thousands of clients, as we do, there will always be one or two people that cannot be satisfied but we are working on 100% satisfaction!!!

In the meantime, I have posted a Blog entry which characterizes my mood of the current coin market, if you care to read it...

Thanks again.

Huh? What do you mean by that?

coinpictures · January 27, 2009 11:32PM

Utterly craptacular pictures on their site, but excellent customer service.

Hyperion · January 27, 2009 11:38PM

probably the dealer Ive bought from the most, mostly because of their excellent customer service, always prompt and fair (IMHO)

btw, I bought my AU58 peace dollar from them, as previously stated, great to work with (I guess most places are like that as long as you're buying

)

I will be trying their grading service very soon...

Preussen · January 28, 2009 12:00AM

I have had many positive buying experiences with DLRC. -Preussen

QuarterCollector · January 28, 2009 12:05AM

DLRC is a great firm. I have sold and bought many cons through them and I never had a neg experience. If you can wait about a month for payment they blow ebay out of the water.

Tom

WTCG · January 28, 2009 12:07AM

They're a good company with some good people.

rjsriv · January 28, 2009 7:28AM

GOOD PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH--THUMBS UP

astrorat · January 28, 2009 7:30AM

I have been very pleased with DLRC!

soonerfaninbhm · January 28, 2009 1:42PM

They have always given me fair prices for the coins I have sold them. I have bought once and traded once with them without problems.

BlindedByEgo · January 28, 2009 3:16PM

I have bought a number of Proof Indian Cents at DLRC and have not yet been disappointed.

Boom · January 28, 2009 4:36PM

I've spent my fair share at DLRC.

I'll leave it at that.

RegistryNut · January 28, 2009 6:35PM

Nice to read some positive remarks for a change. Seems like we remember all our negative issues, but forget most of the positive ones. Easy to do, I guess.

I, too, have enjoyed my transactions with DLRC.

Hey, DUIGUY, are you my identical twin?

RegistryNut

Atlantic · January 28, 2009 6:45PM

I have also purchased several coins from them and all my transactions were smooth and the coins were great.

jgrinz · January 28, 2009 9:14PM

John and I have had a few discussions on trade ins toward purchases (More on the monitary side ) and appearently he has
addressed these issues with what appears great success.
I have not stopped doing business with them as I continually have purchased from them and will probably look to trade in trade up
again ...
Congrats John for the fine work
