What is TheftCheck?
TheftCheck is the industry’s database of stolen certified coins and paper money, easily searchable by certification number. Verify certified coins and paper money are not involved in a reported theft before you purchase.
How Do You Verify Stolen Coins?
Enter the unique certification number in the search box above and click on the TheftCheck button. You will instantly see whether the coin has been reported to TheftCheck as stolen or not.
How Do I Report Stolen Coins?
If your coins have been stolen, please file a report with Doug Davis of the Numismatic Crimes Information Center as soon as possible.
TheftCheck allows reporting from Doug Davis of the Numismatic Crimes Information Center, as well as the leading grading services and auction houses.
Can I add TheftCheck to my website?
Online sellers and auction houses can add a TheftCheck badge to their listings (see a TheftCheck badge in action at GreatCollections), which checks the TheftCheck database on a daily basis.
