How Mckee Coins Helps You
Three ways to do business with us — without leaving your kitchen table.
Live, Online & Mail Bids
Auctions start at 9 AM Central. Watch the gallery in person, bid live online through Proxibid or iCollector, or send your absentee bids by email — we'll represent you on the floor.
See What's Selling Next → Walk-In CashWe Buy Gold, Silver & Sets — Daily.
Bring your bullion, junk silver, U.S. proof and mint sets to the shop for a same-day cash quote. We buy daily — Monday through Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM CST.

Can't be in Ottumwa on auction day? Bid by mail — we'll represent you.
Auctions start at 9 AM Central. View lots in our gallery, follow live online, or send your max bids by email — you'll never pay more than 5–10% above the next-highest bid.
How a Mail Bid Works
Send your max bids. We'll bid as if you were here in the gallery.
Email us your full name, address, and the maximum you'd pay on each lot. We reduce your bid to 5–10% above the second-highest mail bid and represent it on the floor before any other bid is taken.
Tie bids? Bids placed personally with us win the lot. It's the closest thing to standing at the auctioneer's desk yourself.
