Should I care about COAs?

I really don't care about COAs, but when I am buying modern set should I? Does a set that does not have a COA sell for less than one that does on a four coin Britannia proof set for example?

I think it way be of more interest with the older sets, it would not necessarily stop me from getting something I wanted.

I sense though that it would be important to some people.....

Just think of a COA as a CYA.

With modern sets, the documentation and packaging matters - to some degree.

That is what I was thinking, thanks Tom.

I shouldn't think you come across many Georgian coins with COA's. If you do, be suspicious!

They're not original, but Spink issue them for higher value coins.
