REGISTRY / QR
Public Record Match
Confirms that the certification number resolves to a current public Criterion record. A QR code opens this same lookup.
CERTIFICATE VERIFICATION
Verify a Criterion Certification
Confirm the grade and current registry standing of a Criterion-certified coin before you buy, sell, or trade. Physical-holder authentication is reported separately.
Certification Lookup
Enter CR plus the eight digits printed on the holder. The hyphen is optional.
WHAT THIS CHECK PROVES
Verification has three distinct levels.
A successful registry lookup confirms a Criterion record. It does not by itself authenticate the physical holder in hand.
VISUAL COMPARISON
Optional Coin and Holder Check
When useful, compare the coin, label, Certification Number, images, and security features in hand with the public record.
LIVE NFC
Cryptographic Holder Check
When supported, a live NFC scan performs a separate cryptographic authentication of the physical Criterion holder.
Checking the Criterion registry…
LIVE HOLDER SECURITY
Checking Your Criterion Holder
Verification starts automatically. Your phone may ask for location permission. Allowing location adds your approximate city and state to Certification History; declining continues the check without location. If permission is left unanswered, verification continues without location after eight seconds.
Location is optional. Your browser controls permission and may remember your choice. Declining does not prevent NFC authentication. If you share it, your city and state will appear in Certification History. Approximate coordinates are used to look up the U.S. locality through the U.S. Census Bureau, with a postal-code lookup when needed and are retained privately in the security audit; coordinates and street addresses are not published.

Last NFC Physical Holder AuthenticationChecking public history
Criterion’s encrypted NFC authentication goes beyond a registry lookup. Each physical tap creates a fresh cryptographic response from the holder’s tag. Criterion validates that response and rejects replayed links before recording a successful authentication. The date above shows the most recent successful NFC check. Tap the holder with an NFC-enabled phone to authenticate it again now.
To authenticate the physical holder, tap its NFC tag with your phone and open the link. On desktop, you can review the full evidence below or use Confirm Hologram to check the printed hologram code.

The registry lookup is complete without a manual holder comparison. A prior NFC event is historical evidence, not proof that the holder is present now. Grader A/B results below are independent grading evidence, not a physical-holder check. A typed number, link, or QR code does not perform NFC authentication. Learn how the checks differ.

Independent blind review. Grader B cannot view Grader A’s findings before submission.
A separate qualified reviewer confirms the certification package, grade consistency, qualification, label, and evidence record.
Required whenever the first two grades differ, authentication is escalated, a high-risk coin is involved, or a Qualified Grade is disputed.

Verify the holder, too.
Compare this record with the coin, label, Certification Number, and security features in hand. Registry verification is an important check, but it does not replace physical inspection.
Prior-holder imagery
Images of a crossover coin in a prior holder are retained solely as historical provenance, identification, and chain-of-custody evidence. Third-party names, logos, holder designs, and other marks visible in those images remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance does not indicate affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement.
