2026 Proof Sets, Christmas Silver Now Available

Hello once again!

2026 regular proof sets finally showed up! Limited quantities coupled with high demand for the Semiquincentennial dual dated issues that are unique to this year's set mean that our allotment won't last long. We strongly suggest coming in early to get yours while they last!

This also applies to 2026 Christmas silver rounds and bars. Stop in now for the best selection! If we run out we can't guarantee availability later.

More updates to follow!

Thanks

Jack

New Inventory, Market Update, Plus More

Hello again!

First off...Thanks to all who partook of the "Linda's 75th birthday" special sale last month. It was a nice way to give a gift to our customers and friends while honoring Linda, who deserves to be congratulated. She's a great lady who has done an amazing job of growing into the business with a steadfast determination to carry forward the legacy and vision that her husband Dennis created four decades ago (with a wee assist from yours truly perhaps...JZ)

Just in time for the pre-holiday season, we've been busy organizing and updating displays to accommodate a nice selection of new acquisitions.

Here are just a few highlights...

NGC and PCGS certified coins including Morgan Dollars (both vintage and modern commemorative Morgan and Peace issues) along with raw dollars, some older type coins, and other miscellaneous coins and sets.

Certified NGC/PCGS world silver such as Maples, Pandas, Koalas, Kookaburras, limited edition varieties and finishes, and a wide selection of MS69, MS70 and PF70 Silver Eagles, as well as some original package raw earlier modern US Mint commemoratives, a few limited edition older date silver proof sets, plus more. Stop in sooner than later while our selection is at its peak!

New issue update...2026 regular proof sets now have a release date scheduled for Oct. 6th. These things used to come out in the spring! At this point we're just along for the ride like everyone else when it comes to the new US Mint stuff; all we can say is we will have some sets and they will likely be short. Our subscribed allotment is limited-if we sell out we can try to get more but with the combination of the special one year only 250th birthday designs, traditional holiday demand and sellout of the silver version, these regular nonsilver sets will be a likely sellout as well.

Check back with us for more updates!

Spring Has Sprung, WLRC Turns 38, & More!

Hello Everyone!

Spring has sprung! Where did the time go? We've been meaning to do some more updates but things have been very hectic here at WLRC. The metals markets dropped a bit at the end of January after some domestic and international contract selling at the crazy record highs achieved at the end of that month. After 3 digit highs on silver, it has been trading in a range between the mid 70s to mid 80s. Gold has remained strong, still staying within striking distance of its recent all time highs. Interest in physical bullion,coins and related items remains strong, as stackers view this as an opportunity to catch things while they are temporarily on sale. Many if not most market analysts acknowledge that the fundamentals that caused the record highs have not changed, leading to predictions of $100 plus silver and $5000+ gold returning later this season. Things like constitutional 90% silver coins in bulk are a particularly good buy right now as they trade at or close to melt. 

Collector coins remain steady as well; recent dual dated 250th anniversary proof silver eagles were a quick sellout...many missed these as we had only a small allotment. 2026 proof sets are not available as yet but if you want some from us let us know ASAP. They may be problematic this year due to the 250th anniversary craze and we frankly cannot guarantee availability. Vintage type coins are moving well as are perennial favorites like Morgan/Peace dollars.

As stated previously, it's our 38th anniversary as of April 25th... so for the week of April 27th through May 1st we are celebrating by doing a special for all of you. 10% OFF MARKED PRICES ON ALL SILVER DOLLARS (Not including Silver Eagles), AND 10% OFF ALL SUPPLIES IN STOCK! Take advantage of this while you can! 

Check back with us for more updates, and enjoy the nice weather!

Getting Ready For 2026, Crazy Metals Markets & More

Hello!

We hope you all had a great Christmas. It's really hard to fathom that 2025 is almost over. It has been a year of big changes, not the least of which has been the unbelievable upswing in precious metals prices. It's like 1980 all over again. There are lots of buyers and sellers and there are occasional liquidity issues as a result due to backups.

With these unprecedented record high markets-as you might guess, we have been inundated with offers to buy, leading us to establish new policies that require appointments for pretty much everyone wishing to sell, unless it is literally just a small handful of items. Walk-ins will be rolling the dice depending on how busy we are and will have to wait behind those with appointments, and large coin/bullion deals coming in without any advance notice or an appointment may be declined unless we can fit you in. All items need to be at least somewhat sorted/organized by type...dimes with dimes, dollars with dollars, bullion with bullion etc. or they could be declined. Go to the "We Are Buying" link at the top of the page for details and call us with any questions. You can also email us a list of what you have to help expedite the process and save you time and effort by not having to bring in items we aren't currently buying.

Also, due to the volatile market we cannot lock in buy or sell numbers over the phone or email. All offers are based on the market at the time we see the items in hand, and all on-the-spot buy and sell offers expire once you exit the store. If you want something written, that is considered an appraisal and may incur a fee based on time spent. See "We Are Buying" page for details.

Stay tuned for more updates. Here's to a great 2026!

Jack
