Platinum Bullion Auctions in CALIFORNIA - Live and Online Sales

Welcome to the Central Coast Coin Exxchange (CCCX) Auction, located in San Luis Obispo, CA! All of our auctions are online and hosted by HiBid. We specialize in buying and selling a diverse range of collectible coins and currency, both U.S. and foreign, across all denominations. Our offerings include mint-issued sets, commemoratives, and various precious metals such as bars, rounds, and bullion. We also purchase and sell sterling silver and gold jewelry ranging from 12k to 24k. Our owner, Jules Rogoff, has been an avid numismatist since childhood and opened his first coin shop in 1976. He has built a reputation for honesty and integrity, engaging with everyone from novice collectors to seasoned investors. We’d love to have you participate in our auction. Please read the details below if this is your first time bidding with us. REGISTRATION Register for an account if you don’t already have one. Go to the Login/New Bidder link at the top of the page. You will need to validate your credit card during this process. A temporary hold of $1 will be placed on your account to ensure the credit card is valid. Please read our Terms and Conditions so you understand the ins and outs of our auction. Once you place a bid, you’re agreeing to our Terms and Conditions so please be aware of these in advance. BIDDING Now that you’re registered, you are ready to bid once the auction has started. Please keep in mind that a bid is a binding agreement to purchase the item (see our Terms and Conditions for more details). Each auction will start at a different price, as we do not set reserve prices. By having a clear starting price instead of a reserve price, we ensure greater transparency for all bidders. With a clear starting price, everyone knows the minimum threshold for bidding, eliminating any uncertainty about whether a bid will meet a hidden reserve. This approach encourages competitive bidding and provides a fair opportunity for all participants. We aim to set our starting bids well below retail value, offering you the opportunity to score great deals. If you are the highest bidder when the auction closes, you win the item—regardless of the starting price. Be sure to keep an eye on the bids to secure your winning position! We recommend utilizing the Max Bid Feature if you cannot watch the auction close, allowing the system to bid on your behalf. Additionally, we suggest "watching" items by clicking the watch button above the bid price. This bookmarks all the items you're interested in for easy access. SOFT CLOSE Each lot within the auction is set to end at a specific time; however, all online auctions conducted by Central Coast Coin Exxchange utilize a "Soft Close" feature. This is also known as “popcorn” or “dynamic” bidding. During the soft closing period, if an item receives a bid in the last two minutes before its scheduled closing time, bidding will remain open. Each time a bid is placed within this two-minute window, the auction closing time will be extended by an additional two minutes, allowing more time for bidders to participate. PAYMENT Once the auction ends, your credit card on file will be charged within 24 hours. If you'd prefer to pay with a different card or via wire transfer, please contact us before the auction concludes. Pre-approval is required for these alternative payment methods, which will also prevent us from automatically charging your card after the auction closes. SHIPPING AND HANDLING All items are set for shipping by default. Shipping and handling costs are the responsibility of the Buyer and will be calculated based on the weight, size, and destination of the items purchased. Central Coast Coin Exxchange utilizes USPS, UPS, and FedEx as shipping carriers to ensure your items are delivered safely and promptly. By participating in our auctions, you agree to the terms outlined in this Shipping and Handling policy. LOCAL PICK-UP & CASH PAYMENT If you want to pick up the items locally and/or pay cash in person, you need to get approval from us in advance. In-person cash payments receive a 2.5% discount.
