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 junior octogenarian Liz, a spry 83 year old who runs our shipping department and keeps the Post Office on their toes, Connie 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 new website, now in its second year.

November 1st, 2006 marked the first anniversary in our new location. We are finally settled in, which has allowed me to get out and do more weekend coin shows. R. D. Thompson, a longtime North Carolina resident living in Mooresville as well as a retired school teacher, is now helping me at coin shows.

As part of our expansion and growth, we have completely redesigned our website, the new and improved www.blackmountaincoins.com. We hope you take a few minutes to peruse our new site, 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.
