Dealer Verification
How we classify coin dealer profiles on US Coin Shows — and what each status means for collectors and dealers.
US Coin Shows has confirmed this dealer's location, contact details, or professional credentials directly. Verification may include phone confirmation, website cross-check, or ANA/PNG membership validation. Verified status is reviewed periodically and may lapse if information cannot be reconfirmed.
The business owner has registered and claimed this profile. Claimed profiles are managed by the dealer directly — they control their specialties, contact details, show attendance, logo, and gallery. Claimed profiles receive a faster path to Verified status.
This profile was assembled from public business information — including business directories, show bourse lists, or club membership records. The information reflects what was publicly available at the time of import and may not reflect current business status. Always confirm details directly with the dealer.
Membership and affiliation status
Dealer profiles may display membership affiliations such as ANA member number, PNG membership, or PCGS/NGC authorized dealer status. These are displayed as reported by the dealer or observed in public membership directories.
US Coin Shows does not independently verify membership status in real time. For authoritative membership verification, consult the relevant organization directly:
Are you a coin dealer?
Claiming your profile is free. Once claimed, you can update your contact information, specialties, show attendance, logo, and gallery photos. Claimed profiles are eligible for Verified status.
Claim Your ProfileReport an incorrect dealer listing
If you believe a dealer profile contains incorrect information — including a business that has closed, moved, or changed specialties — please report it so we can update the listing.
Report an Incorrect ListingWhy verification status matters to collectors
When you are searching for a coin dealer near you, knowing whether a profile is actively managed or assembled from public records is critical. A claimed profile means a real business owner logged in, reviewed their information, and stands behind it. An imported listing may be accurate, but it could also reflect a business that has since moved, changed its focus, or closed entirely.
US Coin Shows maintains over 2,000 dealer profiles across all 50 states. The majority are imported listings built from public business directories, numismatic association membership records, and show bourse lists. As dealers discover the platform and claim their profiles, they gain full control over their information, photos, show attendance records, and specialties. Claimed dealers also become eligible for Verified status after we confirm their business details directly.
For collectors, this means that profiles with Claimed or Verified status are your most reliable source of current information. For unclaimed profiles, we recommend confirming contact details and hours directly before visiting. Always call ahead before making a trip to a coin dealer, regardless of verification status — business hours and buying interests can change frequently in the numismatic trade.
