SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Dallas Gold and Silver Exchange, Inc., Common Stock, 
$.01 Par Value Per Share) File No. 1-11048

July 2, 1999.
    Dallas Gold and Silver Exchange, Inc. (``Company'') has filed an 
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') and rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to 
withdraw the security specified above (``Security'') from listing and 
registration on the Emerging Company Marketplace of the American Stock 
Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
    The Security has been listed for trading on the Amex and on June 
29, 1999, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A, became 
designated for quotation and was admitted into trading on the Nasdaq 
Small-Cap Market (``Nasdaq'').
    The Security of the Company was one of the initial securities 
approved for listing on the Amex's Engineering Company Marketplace 
approximately six years ago, but is now one of only nine such 
securities which continue to trade in this marketplace. The Company 
contends that the reduced stature of the Amex's Emerging Company 
Marketplace, in conjunction with the special symbol extensions assigned 
to securities listed thereon, has resulted in both very limited 
publication in the media of trading information regarding the Security 
and reduced access to timely trading data from the tape concerning 
transactions in the Security. Moreover, in seeking quotation of the 
Security on the Nasdaq, the Company believes that the variety of market 
makers available on the Nasdaq will provide greater depth, continuity 
and liquidity for the Company's shareholders.
    The Company has complied with the rules of the Amex by filing with 
the Exchange a certified copy of the resolutions adopted by the Board 
of Directors of the Company authorizing the withdrawal of the Security 
from listing on the Amex and by setting forth in detail to the Exchange 
the reasons for such proposed withdrawal, and the facts in support 
thereof.
    The Amex has informed the Company of its determination not to 
interpose any objection to the Company's application to withdraw its 
Security from listing and registration on the Exchange.
    The Company's application relates solely to the withdrawal from 
listing of the Company's Security on the Emerging Company Marketplace 
of the Amex and shall have no effect upon the continued designation of 
the Security for quotation on the Nasdaq and registration pursuant to 
section 12(g) of the Act. By reason of section 12(g) of the Act and the 
rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, the Company shall 
continue to be obligated to file reports under section 13 of the Act 
with the Commission.
    Any interested person may, on or before July 23, 1999, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
Exchange and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
