Coins are cleaned electronically of the mud and dirt to make them more presentable for jewelry, display, and to help in identification. I can only guarantee they are authentic through my research. Please read the following.

AUTHENTICATION

If you have a report on the coin that states all the particulars of the coin and attests to the authenticity, shows pictures of both the front and back, that report would have cost a minimum of $40, and it would of come from an accredited dealer that is authorized to evaluate a coin. I can see the necessity for a certificate if the coin is of a great value, but not inexpensive coins which I set at $200. I don't give out certificates but I guarantee the coins I sell to be authentic and if they are suspect I will tell you so.

I purchased my coins in auctions from respected dealers that guaranteed they were authentic or dug up in areas where authentic coins were being found by licensed excavators, in foreign countries. I normally had to clean the coins when I got them. I then researched them on the internet and in books in order to identify them. If your worried about your coin being a counterfeit or copy, don't be, counterfeit coins have been identified from as far back as the time the originals were made, even experts would have a hard time identifying a lot these types of coins, as for fakes, most copies are poorly made and are easy to identify To help with identifying some of my coins I used internet sites that show fakes along side the originals and point out the differences.

We state they are authentic, in the unlikely event that a coin I sell is later deemed by an expert (one who has credentials) to be a fake or counterfeit, I will refund your cost of the coin, including shipping, and I will forward info on the coin to several sites on the Internet that list and show coins that are fakes or counterfeit.
