With each appraisal, a certificate of authenticity is issued that includes a detailed analysis of the metal used in the examined object.
Technical-Scientific Statement
A concise technical-scientific statement will be provided for each item examined, explaining the rationale behind its authenticity. Those who offer this statement are at a distinct advantage over those who do not. To contest this certificate, a counter technical-scientific report must be submitted.
Appraisals are conducted for circulating coins from around the globe that are suspected of being counterfeit.
In the fields of numismatics and archaeology, a mere examination with spectrometers (metal analyzers) is insufficient to issue a certificate. A more comprehensive approach is required.
This service is also available outside of Italy.
Special Service
For directors of medal collections or archaeological finds departments, objects can be closely examined (without touching). A technical-scientific statement will also be provided for each object examined.
