In the numismatic industry, authentication and grading are crucial for determining the value of coins and collectibles. However, the lack of standardized regulations among grading companies makes the market vulnerable to inconsistencies and fraud. To address these challenges, Verify Vault offers a secure Electronic Certificate of Authenticity (COA) that provides robust protection and verifiable provenance for numismatic items.

 

Why transition to an Electronic COA?

 

1. Standardized & Tamper Detection.

Traditional paper COAs can be lost, forged, or tampered with.

 

The Electronic COA is embedded with an ISO 11784/5-compliant microchip, ensuring a direct and secure link between the coin and its certificate.

 

This international standard is the basis for many legally required identification bodies as well as many commercial purposes in many countries, ensuring credibility and acceptance.

 

2. Enhanced crime & fraud deterrent.

The Electronic COA system uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, allowing only authorized personnel with the scanner and correct password to access the items certification details.

 

The data is stored on a USB drive that can only be opened with an RFID scanner and password, making theft and forgery significantly more difficult.

 

A one-time security code further enhances detection of any unauthorized use or duplication attempts.

 

3. Permanent & Immutable Records

All authentication data is securely stored and tracked keystroke by keystroke, ensuring a clear audit trail back to the original certification.

 

The Verify Vault HQ maintains these records on an offline computer, eliminating the risk of hacking.

 

4. Convenient & Professional Grading Services.

 

For items that require authentication or grading, Verify Vault offers an expert grading and certification service.

 

The encapsulation process ensures that coins and collectibles remain protected while benefiting from the additional security of the electronic verification system.

 

Conclusion

 

For collectors, dealers, and investors, transitioning to an Electronic COA is a game-changer in numismatics.

 

It eliminates the risk of paper forgeries, creates a standardized and immutable record, and enhances security against theft and fraud.

 

By leveraging Verify Vault™ advanced technology, your numismatic items will be protected with the highest level of authentication available today.

 

If you have any graded or certified numismatic items, now is the time to upgrade to an Electronic COA and ensure their authenticity and value remain secure for generations to come.
