A MESSAGE FROM VAN SIMMONS

Over 40 years ago, David Hall founded a small, high-quality rare coin company that quickly gained a reputation for excellence. In 1979, he began publishing his award-winning newsletter, The Inside View, offering deep insights into the rare coin market. Just two years later, I had the pleasure of joining him as a business partner, and the rest is history.

Both David and I are passionate collectors of a wide variety of rarities, from baseball cards and antique firearms to Tiffany lamps and rare U.S. coins. This vast experience gives us unparalleled expertise across collectible markets, making us what you can call well-equipped in the industry...

In 1986, we co-founded the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), a revolutionary company that changed the rare coin market forever. Since then, PCGS has graded over 30 million coins, valued at over $30 billion, and set the standard for coin authentication and grading. With over 1,300 authorized dealers worldwide, and hundreds more handling PCGS-graded coins, they’ve built an empire of trust and excellence.

At David Hall Rare Coins (DHRC), we focus on high-grade coins, primarily those rated MS65 or higher by PCGS. These gem-quality coins, representing only 5% to 10% of all graded coins, tend to appreciate more significantly and set record auction prices. DHRC’s innovative practices, like grading guarantees and third-party certification, have made the rare coin market one of the most orderly and liquid in the collectibles world. With competitive pricing and a Buy-Back-at-Grade Guarantee, DHRC helps collectors and investors acquire and protect some of the world's most prized coins.
