IMPORTANT NOTICE: Concerning Fake Artifactson
Unfortunately has attracted sellers who are producing and selling fake artifactswith COA’s that are just as bogus. The most prolific COA's are mostly on fakes. I am among a very small handful of dealers who are committed to selling only genuine relics. For that reason we refuse to sell artifacts with COA's from many of these authenticators

The only people who's opinionsI trust enough torecognize their COA's are the following: Ben Stermer, Dwain Rogers, Bill Jackson, Greg Perino, Jim Bennett, Tony Putty, Jackson Gallery, and Ken Partain.

Right now is full of fake artifacts. I see thousands of dollarsspent every week on , by customers who are taken in by these criminals, while genuine artifacts go for next to nothing because they do not look as good as the fakes. I cannot emphasizeenough that you should research before you invest.

A little common sense may save you a small fortune; for example, does the seller seem to have an endless supply of such attractive artifacts that even the Museums donot displayin quantity?For example, offering 2 or 3 Clovis, Cumberland, or Folsom points every week.

SO, ask questions, and best to get a COA from one of the Authenticators mentioned above.
