So I've been reading up on some stuff and had a few questions....
As far as the ratings system goes, who determines it? I mean, I could think an item was a G-7, and someone else looks at it and says G-5. is it something that "officially" comes with a COA, or is it just subjective?
I know COAs are questionable due to history, but wouldn't they be useful for insurance purposes? I would think if people are putting their collections in safes at home, they might be insured. I'd like to have one for my Dalton that was more archaeology/dating/scientific related than those used for "relic resale". Mine isn't going anywhere, but it would be neat to have "official info" on from someone who knows what they are talking about.
and when obtaining something like a COA, do you have to mail the item off to them, if they are not local to you? That makes me nervous! lol
I'm still scouring the forms to try to figure out who I could contact fairly locally to me to get more information.......(museums/colleges/etc)
