David Lawrence Rare Coin Auctions will be offering 94 coins from the “Picky Collection” in a special 2-week Internet Auction #461 closing March 11th.

This meticulous collection is the culmination of 25 years of numismatic searching. DLRC owner John Feigenbaum noted, “The Picky Collection is an AMAZING group of 90+ bust coins (mostly halves). We called it the “Picky Collection” as the collector was sooo fussy. It paid off as most of the coins CAC’d, giving it their seal of approval. If you love Bust coinage check this out.”

Feigenbaum continues..”Collectors are getting tired of hearing how there are now fresh coins out there…blah, blah, blah….But it’s really true. We haven’t seen anything like the regular flow of fresh coin collections coming from our clients in the last 18 months, like we had in years prior.

Many high-end quality pieces that are becoming harder and harder to find in the marketplace ! … John Feigenbaum

It’s hard to explain the phenomenon but collector’s are keeping the prized numismatic holding close to their chests. Prices have come down across the board in this time period, and I’m guessing folks don’t want to lose money on their collections. Sure, at a profit we’d see more sellers, and I think this fueled the activity in the late 1990’s.”

Bust Halves (71) make up the majority of the Picky Collection with an additional (6) Bust Dimes, (5) Bust Quarters, (5) Liberty Seated Half Dollars along with a few Early Gold pieces.

Each coin has its own unique look and charming characteristic as the owner was insistent upon in order to fit into his collection.

The Smoky Mountains Collection brings DGS-graded coins to the forefront
www.davidlawrence.com

Virginia Beach, VA – DLRC Auctions (www.davidlawrence.com ) has reported that their Internet Auction #328 which closed last night has realized an eye-popping $230,000! The sale featured (among other great coins) the Smoky Mountains Collection, with 360+ DGS-graded coins. DLRC Auctions sold approximately 367 DGS coins for 50% over the amount guaranteed to the client, with over 120 successful bidders.

John Feigenbaum, David Lawrence Rare Coins and DGS President stated, “This result speaks volumes for the coin market as a whole, DGS coins and DLRC Auctions. The consignor of the Smoky Mountain Collection already called this morning and was thrilled with the results, as well. He and I discussed the merits of grading collector coins with honest descriptions (i.e. lightly cleaned, light scratch, and so on). For years, collectors have been told these coins have no value because they won’t “grade” at the major services. This is simply not the case. Collectors love and need affordable coins and DGS is here to provide people with assurance in buying them.”
