COA - Certificate of Authenticity - Definition

By Lesley Shepherd, About.com

Definition: COA - is an acronym for Certificate Of Authenticity. COA's are generally offered on collectible items which have been modified by particular artists, or whose authenticity has been determined by a professional evaluation. COA 's can be faked fairly easily. Only accept COA's from reputable companies which have a money back guarantee.
Examples: The series of military figures came with a COA to prove they had been painted by the artist.
