huh does any of this mean? Quote:
OUR GUARANTEE TO YOU
1. Collecting with benefit.
The excellent price and the high
quality speak for themselves.
2. Collecting with confidence.
This document guarantees the high
quality and absolute authenticity
of this collectible.
3. Collecting with assurance.
All of our products have a time-
honored historical significance that
makes them life time treasures. This is from the American mint, and is on everything from 32G silver plated copper rounds to 1935s dollars to 20G silver rounds. The guy I bought them from said the purchase price was $79 per, which doesn't strike me as an "excellent price" for $24 worth of silver. |

That's from the "American Mint" and not the "U.S. Mint." Ergo, it means absolutely nothing whatsoever.

I never had any respect for COAs. Any guy with a computer, a printer, and rudimentary graphic design skills can produce a COA "authenticating" any piece of junk.

That phrased COA is just a sales technique to make what people buy from them seem really, really valuable and worth the money they paid for it. Just a sales gimmick.

Maybe not but try to remember that those that sell STUFF are not in it to make friends, make people happy, give out the best bargains. They are selling STUFF to make money. Any guarantee's, promisses, warantiee's, assurances, etc. are simply salesmanship statements. I've seen places going out out of buisness with signs saying life time gurantee on many of their items. When I purhased a new car not to long ago, it came with a fantastic new car guarantee. No parts were available for the first year though so what good was the guarantee? All I'm saying everyone should realize that a seller will say or do anything to make a sale. Why not? That is what they are trying to do, SELL. |

That is why one should always do your due diligence when purchasing a coin. But it does help when selling a coin and for some rare coins CoA by themselves sell for good $$$. |

totally meaningless - it is not a CoA - a very poorly worded marketing ploy

Hey, if it breaks, spend a half hour and few bucks on postage to get us to replace a $1 item that cost a dime to make. |
