Dominion Grading Service (DGS) is a new grading firm in Virginia Beach, Virginia owned by David Lawrence Rare Coins.
Their holder is familiar because DGS purchased the machinery of PCI when that company folded, but nothing else about
this new service is like anything else we currently have on the market.
In addition to a clean label, completely new barcode system, and strict grading standards, DGS purchased the rights
to use the 'Signature Series' name from the former owners of the program, PCI. DGS has solicited and retained some
of the top experts in the numsimatic industry for this program which involves the requested expert personally reviewing
every coin sent in under the program.
Coppercoins.com is happy to announce that owner Charles D. Daughtrey has been selected to be a part of this program.
Chuck has been selected to attribute coins to the USCV system used on coppercoins.com so the coins can be sealed with
his signature and a die number matching those found on this site.
Help support the effort and shop for coins at the same time! Coppercoins.com owner C. D. Daughtrey has opened
lincolncent.com, a web store showcasing his extensive hoard of duplicate Lincoln cents including regular issue coins,
die varieties, certified coins, and much more! Click on the logo above to visit the store - remember to come back often,
the inventory is constantly growing and will some day number over ten thousand coins!
10,000...Finally!
Coppercoins.com has surpassed a MAJOR milestone in development.
To commemorate this event, we have created a special poster depicting a mosaic of a Lincoln cent using the
datebase of over 10,000 images we currently have on the server. This poster will be available three weeks after the
date we reached 10,000 images (March 22, 2007). It will be available in two forms; a limited edition of 100 posters,
signed by the two staff photographers of the site - Bob Piazza and Charles Daughtrey. Unsigned posters will
also be available at a lower cost.
The following is a close-up detail of part of the mosaic - if you would like to view the full
mosaic and order a poster, click here
If you look closely you will see a number of the images we use on this site, but if you back across the room you might see something different in this image!
Site Donations
Coppercoins.com has been in constant operation for over five years now, and to date no money has been

to the site has been discussed, but is still a long way off. In an effort to provide uninterrupted service
to our valued visitors, we are openly asking for funding to help with the continued maintenance of this
site. Small donations are appreciated, nothing extravegant, nothing large. We appreciate whatever support
you can provide via Paypal or through the mail to our regular address. Thank you.
