Feb. 1 Update- Snow Storm Event

Hello everyone!

As most of you know, a major snowstorm has been forecast for our area starting tonight (Feb, 1), through Thursday Feb, 3rd, with as much as a foot of snow or more possible. This combined with 20- 30 mph winds and the associated blowing and drifting will make travel difficult if not impossible. We are monitoring the situation and will make a decision Wednesday morning as to whether or not we will be able to open for business. We will likewise reassess the situation Thursday. If you call the store during business hours tomorrow or Thursday and get a message directing you here it is safe to assume we are closed for the day. We will continue to update here on the blog page as appropriate. Be safe out there!

Thanks

Jack and Dennis

Happy 2022! New Year, New Coins!

Hello All:

2022 is finally here and with it comes new coin releases throughout the year. We now have some 2022 uncirculated Silver Eagles available. No definitive word on proof sets, etc. yet from the mint other than "Spring 2022", but we will advise as we have more info. We have just acquired some one ounce Krugerrands and Maple Leafs. We also added some more collectible US gold coins in various denominations. Limited quantities so be sure to stop by for a look while they're still available!

That's all for now. We look forward to serving you throughout 2022!

A New Year And New Coins Are Coming!

Hello All:

Hopefully you and yours all enjoyed Christmas as much as we did. Now we're looking at a new year and new coins soon to come along with it! A couple of quick updates... 2022 regular Silver Eagles should be released mid-January and we will try to have them ASAP. Give us a call or email for details and we will advise when we have them. If you missed a couple of things before Christmas, we still have a small quantity remaining of 2021 proof sets and a few of the 2021 Morgan Dollars in all mintmarks except Carson City. We're also temporarily out of the 2021 Peace Dollars but will see what we can obtain at reasonable price levels on both these and the CC Morgan issue if we have enough requests. If you are still looking for one...let us know. Details on 2022 Proof Sets, etc. as soon as available. US Gold has been selling but (for now at least) we still have a good selection. 

Thanks to all of you for another great year of loyal patronage.  You are the reason WLRC has existed for what will soon be 34 years! Gee, where has the time gone? We started off with 700 square feet, 4 tiny display cases, one ancient coin counting machine and a dream... now we're the oldest and largest coin dealer in Central Illinois. And we have you to thank.

Happy New Year from your friends at Westlake Rare Coins.

Holiday Updates!

Hello And Merry Christmas!

It's been a pretty hectic holiday season here at WLRC. We have enjoyed seeing a lot of familiar faces coming in to get those holiday goodies, be it for others or for themselves! Christmas silver rounds are sold out but if you missed these and still need some let us know and we'll see what is available after the holidays. Proof silver eagles are also sold out. If you need some last minute gifts we still have some 2021 proof sets and 2nd reverse design uncirculated silver eagles available along with a nice selection of older silver dollars, US Type, US Gold and nice assorted collector coins in all price ranges. We also have a full range of supplies as well as gift certificates that are available in any amount for that special collector on your gift list.

FYI...We'll be closed on Christmas Eve (Dec. 24) and on New Year's Eve (Dec. 31) but will otherwise be open our usual 10-5 business hours the rest of those respective weeks.

We hope you and yours have a happy and enjoyable Holiday season and thank you for being part of our numismatic family this year!

Regards,

Jack And Dennis

Availability Updates & More

Hello Again!

The Second Reverse Proof American Silver Eagles are temporarily sold out. We will try to acquire some more in advance of holiday gift giving time. We still have some uncirculated versions however. Check back with us for updates.

Our stock of World Gold coins has been exhausted. We have a nice group of collectible US Gold coins in $1, $2.50, $5, $10 and $20 denominations but they are selling well, so stop by now while we still have a nice selection! It's a great time to get those early holiday gifts as well, for yourself or that special collector!

2021 Mint Sets have arrived so stop by to get yours while they last. We also have regular and silver 2021 proof sets. Suggest getting these early for gift giving because shipping uncertainties may preclude getting new stock in a timely manner.

Morgan And Peace Commem Dollars are still in limbo, as usual. You'll know when we know!

More updates as we have them.
