<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Conduitt, post: 5395073, member: 109923&quot;]I would disagree that a certificate of authenticity is toilet paper. It&#039;s part of the provenance, and so has a value - just not for verifying a coin is genuine.</p><p><br /></p><p>This certificate, ironically, is very useful for verifying authenticity. You don&#039;t have to look far down the first page of a Google search to find out some interesting things about the Sadigh Gallery, which give a strong indication of the coin&#039;s authenticity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ouch: <a href="https://westbranchtimes.com/article.php?id=15693" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://westbranchtimes.com/article.php?id=15693" rel="nofollow">https://westbranchtimes.com/article.php?id=15693</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The Sadigh website is particularly strange. The coins are all priced in very round numbers (no increments below $100) and none of the coins are attributed in any way (apart from &#039;Roman, 200AD&#039;). The small, out-of-focus photos can be magnified but not by much, so you can&#039;t really see if the pitting is due to casting bubbles or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
