 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 and have recently acquired an additional 1,500 square feet of office space across the street from our original shop.

 I am joined by a growing staff of six, consisting of our exacting octogenarian Liz, a spry 86 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, Clark, our in-house webmaster, responsible for this website, now in its fourth year. In December of 2009, Terry joined the team as our staff numismatist and store manager, bringing with him a unique perspective of United States coins. We have recently been joined by Kristy Anne who is now my administrative assistant and also in charge of expanding the scope of our new venture, www.natureitis.com. As he has done for the past three years,  R.D., a retired school teacher and long-time North Carolina resident living in Mooresville, is helping me at coin shows.

 November 1st, 2009 marked the fourth 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 9,000 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.

Dan, Liz, Clark, R.D., Bob, Terry and Kristy Anne
