[QUOTE="sand, post: 7780782, member: 118540"]That's a good point. Maybe NGC is worried, that a COA would cause NGC, to incur more legal liability, than a slab would. However, perhaps NGC could offer a certificate of authenticity (COA), without offering a guarantee. So if someone buys a $50,000 coin, with an NGC COA, and if the coin turns out to be fake, then NGC wouldn't owe the person $50,000. That's what Sear seems to do. The examples of Sear COAs, that I have found by Googling, all say the following at the bottom of the certificate : "... no guarantee is made regarding the accuracy of any of the opinions or data conveyed above and no liability of any kind is assumed ...". However, I'm guessing, that Sear has way fewer customers, than NGC does. So that may be a factor. Perhaps, when you are a small business, there aren't as many possibilities for disastrous legal disputes, as when you are a large business. I don't know, if anyone could win such a legal dispute against NGC, if such a statement were printed, in large letters, at the bottom of an NGC COA.[/QUOTE]
