Site for stolen coins?

Is there a site where one could go to check on a stolen coin?

  • Ebay might be a start : )

    If it's graded the coins registration number would provide a lead but i'll guess you know that , it's a thought though , i don't think there is a site that has listings of stolen coins or similar.

    Some people have actually found them up for auction at Heritage...!

    Whoa, a rare caitlin sighting!

    The PNG has a registry for stolen coins http://www.stolencoin.org/ but you have to be a PNG member to use it. Maybe one of the PNG members here could lend a hand.

    By the way, caitlin, I still remember that one-of-a-kind 1920 Buffalo. image

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Give the laziest man the toughest job and he will find the easiest way to get it done.

    Yes, the Numismatic Crime Information Center accepts reports on-line and circulates info to many dealers and law enforcement.

    Here is their website: Report stolen coins here
