D & G Coins and Sports Cards

08/01/2026

Today, we pause to honor and remember Garry Garrison on the anniversary of his passing.

For so many in the Bloomington community, Garry wasn’t just the founder of D&G Coins, he was a mentor, a friend, and a true cornerstone of our local coin community. He and Brenda poured their hearts into building a space where people could not only collect and trade, but also share stories, learn, and connect.

Before I had the privilege of taking over the shop, I was simply a customer walking through those doors. Like so many of you, I quickly grew to love Garry, Brenda, and their wonderful family. Over time, that bond grew so deep that Brenda practically adopted us into the family and we affectionately call her Mom. The warmth, honesty, and genuine passion Garry brought to his work are exactly what made this place feel like a second home to us.

I will never forget the very first time I came into the shop and met Garry and Brenda together. I had a huge wad of cash and I wanted to panic buy silver. Garry said, he wanted me to slow down and think about what kind of silver I would like to own and what my goals were with buying silver. He wanted to protect me from making hasty decisions and wanted me to learn about metals before just dumping my savings into it. He and Brenda took the time to explain what buying strategy was best for my long term goals. I always appreciated that he got to each and every one of his customers and now that I am on the other side of the counter, I know just how much effort went into all of it.

As the new owners, we feel a profound responsibility to carry on the incredible legacy that Garry built. While the shop has changed hands, the foundation he laid remains entirely unchanged. Every time we flip on the "Open" sign, we are committed to serving this community with the exact same integrity and welcoming spirit that he always did. Naturally, we will never fill his shoes. We can only do our very best.

Our thoughts and deepest love are with Mom and the entire Garrison family today. We invite all of our customers, old and new, to share your favorite memories of Garry in the comments below.

Rest in peace, Garry. You are deeply missed, but your legacy lives on here every single day.

Due to two rounds of severe weather incoming (this morning and then this afternoon / evening), we've made the decision to stay closed today. As you may have known, our home sustained some damage in the last round of storms and because much of the repair work is exposed, we need to safely secure that area and monitor it for what appears to be very high winds in the afternoon. We will be resume operations tomorrow, June 18th.

Good morning! We are open today! Thank you for your patience as we recovered from the storm.

06/13/2026

Good morning! We will need to be closed 1 more day due to complications from the storm. We absolutely plan to be open tomorrow Sunday June 14th.

Good morning. The storm has done some damage as well as taking out our internet and power at the home front. Due to these issues, D&G coins will not be open today. We will keep you updated. The shop does have power, but due to the severity of the damage at our home, we cannot be at the shop. Thank you for understanding!

We will keep you updated.

Good morning! So in our last post, we showed you the blue box that silver had to capture and stay over. It could not hold 88-89. It reached that box and could not turn old resistance into new support.

Now why are we seeing this on a Friday? Remember in past posts when we discussed the importance of Daily, Weekly, and Monthly candle closes? This is your weekly close and the bears were not going to let silver runaway from them on the weekly. Where the weekly candle closes matters immensely.

This chart, starts to layout the same premise of every post we've shared with you since December and here are some levels to watch for with notes. We are near the opening bell today and it appears silver has fallen below 79.

If you are bull, you are not even thinking about 83 today, you are hoping that silver can recapture and hold 79 as a support zone to possibly retry 83 on Monday. If silver does not hold 79, you can count on the bears trying to push for 72 or lower.

Bulls, the mission critical is to hold 79 and avoid a scenario where bearish momentum presses toward 72. You do not want a weekly candle close below 79. That's the ballgame for today.

****VERY IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE****
The COMEX is under 80M ounces, which really heightens the risk of a silver squeeze, so this dip just may be from manipulation and fear from larger institutions. That's a sharp decline from OCT 2025. While the paper prices continue to manipulate price, the vault is getting drained. At some point, there will be no avoiding a critical turning point.

Good morning! Posting again, because today we do actually have something developing since our post on Monday. So that 88-89 level where the next resistance line is seems to be right where silver is at as of posting time (11AM-CT).

If it rejects from that box, it is likely to retest support at 83. If it breaks out over that box, the key would be holding 91. As mentioned in our Monday post, if that is a spot we hold, 94-96 would be your next stop. Again, if that holds, you will be having a conversation about 105 and 111 right after.

Still a lot of work to do... The main theme for today is... Will old resistance at 88-89 flip into new support. That top blue box is the entire game for now.

Ok folks! It's been a while since we've done a technical analysis post, but mainly because we stayed at the key numbers we've talked about every month since December. As you can see over time it really has been about 72, 79, 83. This is the range you saw for most of April and the start of May (mostly applicable for March too).

Today is the first day we are seeing a breakout over 83 that actually HELD over 83 by the daily candle close. What does that mean? Well, for starters it means the supports at 79 and 72 despite being tested many times over the last month are strong support levels and that the bulls have finally flipped that overhead resistance at 83 back into a support for now.

IF 83 holds (currently at 87) and tests the next resistance level 88, 91 would be next followed by 96. If you can convincingly hold 96, we can have a talk about 103 followed by 111. So the ballgame for tomorrow is:
- Hold 83 and try to capture 88.
- If you can hold 88, 91 would be the next level to claim.
- If you can get to 96 and hold that, we will most likely be seeing 103 pretty quickly thereafter followed by 111.

If you don't hold 83, you will be testing 79 next, followed by 72. As you know, I've said several times if 72 breaks and you see those 60 levels, that there is a GAP at 55 (keep that gap in mind). If physical silver is still hammered by paper contracts, 55 is still a possibility. If the paper game cannot control silver due to shortages, I'd start thinking about the higher levels, but we have a lot of work to do before this is really going to be part of the equation.

Most immediately, we'd be looking at what happens from 83-88 and then 91. So far, there is bullish momentum to 88. We'll find out how real it it as it tests that level likely in the next day or two!
