    They are really hard to file and then get back with the right coin after it gets back from the slab factory.

    Mostly worthless.... there are some, done properly with authentication, that carry weight. Cheers, RickO

    useless for confirming authenticity of whatever coin gets put with them. Top rated TPG slab is a better certificate.

    Governments can print currency. Only the people can print faith in it — and they’re running low on ink.

    A raw Certificate of Authenticity is suspect, I feel more secure if it has been slabbed. image

    Speaking generally, worthless. In autographs, hilarious quite often.

    Oh Sorry. They are a good source of information regarding specs for the coin but other than that, they're pretty much worthless to me.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Useful to have with (raw) Mint products when trying to sell, people tend to want all of the original packaging including the COA.

    If you collect the modern commemorative coins raw and not slabbed, as I do, the COA had better be with coin in the box of issue, or you won't get as much money for the set when it comes time to sell. (Yes, some of these coins do sell for more than melt.) If the COA is missing a lot of collectors don't want the coins.

    I prefer graded. COAs aren't too helpful most of the time
