Back in September of 2000, retired, mentally unchallenged and with a golf game that wasn't getting any better, I decided to put a few coins up for auction on eBay working out of my house on my personal computer. My part-time avocation was soon to become a full-time profession as a few auctions turned into DGLCoins.com, my first website.

By 2003 I had outgrown the house and with a significant amount of encouragement from my spouse to "get that stuff out of the house" I opened a retail store in Palm Coast, Florida. Of course, the store led to a new website which we operated as palmcoastcoins.com. By the middle of 2005 we had run out of space in our 600 square foot facility. The need for a new location combined with my wife's lifelong dream to live in the mountains of Western North Carolina prompted our move to Black Mountain, NC which we accomplished in November of 2005.

We are currently enjoying our new 2000 square foot facility located fifteen minutes east of Asheville, NC, on Route 70. I am joined by a staff of four consisting of our exacting octogenarian Liz, a spry 85 year old who runs our shipping department and keeps the Post Office on their toes, Bob who processes all the orders, answers the phones and generally tries to keep me out of trouble and last, but certainly not least, Clark who is in charge of our website, now in its third year. R.D. Thompson, a retired school teacher and long-time North Carolina resident living in Mooresville, is now helping me at coin shows.

November 1st, 2008 marked the third anniversary in our new location. We are finally settled in, which has allowed me to get out and do more weekend coin shows. I have also had a chance to get involved in our industry trade association and in 2007 was honored by being elected to the Board of Governors of the North Carolina Numismatic Association.

We hope you take a few minutes or hours to peruse some of the more than 7,000 items we now offer on our website, take advantage of some of the resources we offer and feel free to give us some feedback. We hope you enjoy your visit with us and come back often.
