Three ways to do business with us.
From the auction floor on East Main to the spreadsheet in your kitchen — Mckee Coins meets collectors at every counter. Browse the selling-next, walk in for cash, or hand a lifetime collection to Owen for a quiet, careful review.
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.

Can't be in Ottumwa on auction day?
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.
