<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 6485738, member: 56370&quot;]I think there are 2 reasons why collectors want COA’s, neither of which overlap with one another:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; Guarantee of authenticity.&nbsp; This would only apply if the certificate could be photo matched to the actual coin.&nbsp; Ancient coin dealer certs are the biggest example of this, as well as the old paper ANACS certs.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; COA’s as part of original mint documentation and packaging.&nbsp; Many collectors, myself included, would prefer a COA if purchasing an original mint product.&nbsp; COA’s from foreign mints have even more appeal, at least to me, because they add to the originality of the item.&nbsp; It’s nice to have everything that the coin came with even if it has no bearing on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone (including Chumlee) who equates #2 with #1 is sadly mistaken in my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
