The initial four Red Carpet Rarities Auctions will showcase the Helen’s Quarter Collection, a complete run of US Quarters from 1796-1964.

Per John Brush, President of DLRC, this collection was started in the late 1990s by filling holes in a Whitman album from a jar of old silver quarters given to the collector by his mother-in-law, Helen. As the collector matured and the collection’s quality improved, he started traveling to most major shows to continue completing and improving upon the collection.
"I was privileged to work with the collector for many years, and while I’m sad that we won’t be pursuing more pieces for him, we are honored to work with him in the sale of this collection," stated Brush.
As he’s ready to enter semi-retirement, the collector has reached a point where it’s far more difficult to upgrade pieces in the collection and has decided to auction his coins through DLRC’s new Red Carpet Rarities Auctions.

About DLRC
DLRC, formerly David Lawrence Rare Coins, was founded in a spare bedroom in 1979 by David Lawrence Feigenbaum. A passionate collector his entire life, Feigenbaum made the jump to dealing when his collecting desires surpassed his limited professor’s budget. After David passed away from a long battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), his son John Feigenbaum took the reins and oversaw the company’s growth until 2015. That August, Feigenbaum became the Publisher of CDN Publishing and passed operations to John Brush. Mr. Brush, with prominent collector Dell Loy Hansen, purchased the company shortly thereafter and continued the legacy of the collector-friendly numismatic outlet.
Thanks to the mint and their extreme Mark up and dropped ball policy of mintage limits and web site traffic of 2020 to 2023 there are many out there now that can no longer afford to keep updating and upgrading their collections. But thanks to the greed, short sightedness, and mostly DEI themed releases, they have moved many former years and even decades long customers to return to buying older coins, treasure hunting coin rolls, and introducing us to foreign currencies and other mint offerings. It shed light that magic mike wields enough power and influence that not only are… Read more »
Very eloquently said! Good to see you’re still hanging in there D and C! Keep up the good work.
Thanks. I know I’m no William Shakeaspear but I try. Then again glad I’m not cuz he hung around a bunch of dudes that made out with each other and dressed like women (I think, hard to say since I can’t find anyone to tell what a woman is… go figure) All those TS fans (Taylor swift) seem ok with her CO2 print using ton of fossil fuels to haul buggy from Japan to Las Vegas to maybe arrive in time for the 2nd half. Funny how some people get a pass for things. Wonder if she’ll sit next to… Read more »
I went to a coin show this week and bought a MS -61 1878 $3 gold coin. I was considering applying my money to the Liberty Britannia coin but bought this instead. Very happy with this classic coin. Tired of the mints latest offering’s and shenanigans. I might save up for the gold bust coin due out in the fall. It is the one that has some monetizing lettering on the edge. Maybe the silver version too if it is monetized.
Good luck to you all!
I went to buy a 1889 CC in PGCS 64 grade from Finest Known, but it was sold out. It was a steal for 225K….damn.
Me too. (I can say that without going to jail right, as long as I don’t put a hash tag in front of it?) I had printed Mt own check and everything. I mean it’s not a Porsche grade check by any means, but it remains close.
Good one, Dazed! BTW, what is ‘jail’… oh yeah, I’ll bet you catch Bonanza on METV as I can remember that sheriff had a jail. But it was usually full of white dudes.
Nope. Uncle loved bonanza and gunsmoke and hee haw. I was more into playing video games. I can remember Hoss and the dude from air wolf I think. I watched 2 episodes of gunsmoke the other day, it wasn’t as bad as I thought. I figure a show that ran 20 years can’t be that bad, then I recall what SNL has turned into. Dennis the menace was my jam. And Adam west batman. But I was mostly playing pac man, donkey Kong, tapper, dig dug and sorting sports cards to really do much tv watching. Then knight rider and… Read more »
I moved an appointment to make sure I could be home for the gold coin release as I don’t like using phone for purchases, but with waiting room it can be a pain to sign in and just click add to bag and check out. Not a fan of the coin, but since it’ll probably never leave the original shipping box I don’t have to look at it. It might be a sell out, actually it already is, as the mint sold out to the DEI agenda, and it is a first of. Well not really because they had the… Read more »
