But Fred, it comes with a COA! 
Susan and I used to sell hundreds of pieces of music memorabilia a wekk for a platinum power seller. Here is a very cool passage directly from his about me page about COA's
You could slip the word coin in there and it still pretty much makes sense.

quote:
Do not rely at all on "COA's" as these are absolutely meaningless. They aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Anyone with a printer can make a COA, and if they're going to forge an autograph, they won't hesitate to make a COA. If you are looking for a fancy, multicolored, 3-dimensional, polka dot COA and a bad autograph, we suggest you go elsewhere.
The IADA does not issue certificates of authenticity and does not endorse the use of such certificates. In fact, from my observations, I can tell you that the more your COA corresponds to a piece of modern art, the less your item is likely to be authentic. I feel it's time for serious autograph collectors to rely more on logic and a trained, educated eye than a slip of paper painlessly issued by a merchant.
