Frequently Asked Questions:
Is the certificate in this listing, the exact piece I will receive?
Yes.
Is this document authentic or a reproduction?
All pieces we offer are originals - we do not sell reproductions. If you ever find one of our pieces not to be authentic, it may be returned at any time.
Can this certificate be cashed in?
All of our certificates are sold only as collectible pieces, as they are either canceled or obsolete. Certificates carry no value on any of today's financial indexes and no transfer of ownership is implied.
Do you combine shipping?

To take advantage of our flat rate shipping offer,
