The Unclaimed Property Auction is held July 29-30, 2024, at the Oasis Convention Center in Springfield.

The July 28 preview is currently underway, from 5:00pm - 8:00pm.

The Unclaimed Property Auction will be held July 29-30 at 9:00am, with previews starting at 8:00am daily.


Welcome to Missouri’s 2024 Unclaimed Property Auction! The Auction location and time instructions, along with a catalog of all available inventory can be previewed online at: treasurer.mo.gov/auction.

 

This year’s Auction will hold a total of 3,848 lots with items from books and stamps, to jewelry and wristwatches of all variety! For writers, there will be an Atkins, Lambert, and Co No.41 Quill Pen. For coin and history collectors, an 1872 Great Britain Shilling and four (4) 1893 World's Columbian Exposition (World’s Fair) Tickets. We hope that you are able to take a moment to preview the booklet of inventory prepared, as we have nearly double the amount of lots available than last year’s auction!

 

The Auction features a wide-range of items from safe deposit boxes surrendered as Unclaimed Property. Under Missouri law, financial institutions will hand over these items, now known as Unclaimed Property, after no contact with the owner after a statutorily set period of time, generally five (5) years. However, we do not handle certain personal property, such as vehicles or real estate. Proceeds are recorded under the owner’s original name, never do these items ever become the state’s property. Original owners or proper heirs can claim proceeds anytime at www.ShowMeMoney.com.

 

Lastly, it is worth noting the only non-cash unclaimed items that will never be sold are military medals and insignia, which we will continue to work in reuniting it with its original owner. Otherwise, we hope to see you at this year’s Unclaimed Property Auction and encourage you to review the auction booklet as you join us in Springfield!
