Why We Choose Not to Provide Certificate Of Authentications
Why We Choose Not to Provide Certificate Of Authentications
The value of a COA largely depends on the credibility of the issuer. There is no central agency that issues Certificates Of Authenticity for Megalodon Teeth, and a COA can be made by anyone with a printer. COAs from unknown or unverifiable sources can be less reliable. Without a reputable and recognized name behind it, a COA may not provide the assurance collectors seek.
If a COA can be easily reproduced, modified, or mass-produced, it loses its effectiveness. COAs that are simple to forge or duplicate do not provide the security and verification that a collector would need. A COA without a serial number and a photo of the tooth on the certificate to ensure a match can be made between the two adds little to no value. You should also have a way to verify this information. Instead, we choose to provide a detailed information sheet with each purchase and an authenticity guarantee. Read more below.
