Sept 2023: While premiums have dropped, but still have a ways to go to get to pre-pandemic levels. We are still carrying heathy inventory, and suppliers only have minimal delays. If we don't answer the phone, absolutely leave a message, and will get back to you as quickly as we can. Lastly, we have temporarily increased our order downpayment from 30% to 70%, and orders over $150k to 85%.
Welcome to Lincoln Coin and Bullion, LLC! Since our inception in 2006, we’ve grown into a full-scale precious metals business that serves customers interested in purchasing or selling: Gold, Silver, Platinum, & Palladium (see our product pages). We deal in numismatic coins and bills (historic currency), both foreign and domestic, including quotes & appraisals (further described toward the bottom of the page).
We are a little different than your typical coin shop. We don't have display case upon display case of coins/numismatics for sale. Instead we sell certain limited items here, offer certain items to our regulars, and the balance of our purchased historic currency/numismatic items are fed into a regional Nebraska auction (10+ year relationship).
We invite you to view our current selection of products--both In Stock and Available For Order--, or by Clicking These Links (also found in the PRODUCTS drop-down menu above):
COMING LATE-2023... New Logo is Live, and Updated overall Website Yet to Come. New features will include: Interior and Exterior Photos, a Daily Market Brief posting, and short videos of our XRF, Ultrasound, and Sigma Testers. And Click and Buy! We are looking forward to presenting these to you!!
Our repeat customers are welcome to call in to reserve items and/or lock spot prices on purchases/orders over the phone. New customers may do so as well with a 30% down payment.
If you are considering your first purchase of precious metals, we would be happy to set aside a good 45 to 60 minutes to discuss and review some items to know/consider on bullion, what generally is available, and the mechanics of a purchase. This can be done over the phone, and/or in person. Looking over and handling the bullion helps everything sink in. There is a lot to consider, and can be overwhelming on even where to start. We understand, and we are here to guide you through the process. And it goes without saying, all business conducted with us is confidential.
Looking for a precious metals for a Self-Directed IRA? The vast majority of our bullion is intentially IRA-eligible. We have seen a decent increase in interest in Self-Directed IRA's starting mid-2022, and we are happy to discuss how those work. Also, many of our clients have set up accounts with Jones Bank in Seward, NE (they have quite reasonable fees). There are many online options as well, we have worked with GoldStar Trust Co. and New Direction Trust Co.
We have a $1,000 minimum purchase requirement, and no shipping fees. For orders we place with suppliers, minimum quantities are 50-60 oz. for Silver; 2 oz. for Gold, Platinum, & Palladium; and 1/10 oz. for Rhodium.
Please note: Items marked Arriving Soon could go back to Available For Order prior to arrival, as our customers are always welcome to call and purchase items before they arrive. Looking for something specific? We are happy to take note and call you when we get those item(s) in. We are connected with 12-15 wholesalers/suppliers, and can likely get you what you are looking for, so please ask. The items we try to have In Stock, or show as Available for Order, are the typical/common/high-demand items we think you will find of interest (intentionally avoiding unusual or irregular bullion items for simplicity's sake).
If looking to sell bullion, while bullion pricing can be condition-dependant, we are happy to quote over the phone.
On payments, we accept cash & check. We also accept debit and credit cards, however we add a 1.5% and 3% fee respectively for their use. We can also accept crypto (we add 1.2% fee), and wire transfer. Selling to us? We can pay you cash, business check, or cashiers check, wire, or any combination thereof. We use Union Bank & Trust (UBT) for all our transactions.
Historic Curreny/Numismatics - We offer quotes & appraisal services for large collections--estates, for example, with no intent to sell--at $135/hour (first half-hour no fee). For customers who wish to have coin, currency, or bullion collections evaluated with the potential to sell, we offer line-itemed quotes (typically good for 1-2 weeks). If primarily bullion, typically we can quote numbers over the phone. We do occasionally travel off-site for appraisals of large collections, depending on location and availability.

Since 2014, there has been NO SALES TAX in Nebraska (article link and video link) on bullion, coins, or paper money, making Nebraska the 31st state with such an exemption. We are proud to have been instrumental in the passage of this exemption, as one of our founding owners, Deb Evans-Olson, spear-headed the effort. There are now 40+ states that have sales tax exemptions on these items. We thank the Nebraska Senators who supported this bill, the Nebraska Retail Federation and the Industry Council for Tangible Assets (now called the National Coin and Bullion Association) for all the support and assistance they provided.
A newer trend is states passing legislation recognizing gold and silver as legal tender. Utah (2011), Oklahoma (2012), and Texas (2017) have passed bills, In early 2023 Missouri has introduced a bill.
