In addition to stickers and encapsulation, FHA does not issue the commonly used Certificate of Authenticity (COA.) Why is that?
Because the standard Certificate of Authenticity commonly used in this industry typically does not include an image of the item and autograph. As a result, I view them as having minimal value. I believe every authentication documentation should include an image of the autograph. Cost-wise, it would be more expensive to produce a high quality certificate that includes an image of the item than it is to produce a Letter of Authenticity (LOA.) And with the COA being a smaller size than a LOA, it would not be able to contain as much information. As a result, it is just not feasible to do them. The argument of those in favor of the COA is that the company issuing them has an image of the autograph posted on their web site, available for viewing. But what happens if their web site is temporarily down when you want to view it? Or what if the company should discontinue operation? Then what have you got? The closing of any authentication firm is impossible to predict. This isnt rocket science.
