Expert
Committee Certificates
Please note the object of a certificate is to confirm
that an item is genuine, that it has not been repaired,
re-perforated or re-gummed
It ought to be appreciated that
a certificate does not specify whether a stamp is unmounted
or mounted mint
Comments on the gum is not consistent and may range
from no comment at all or ‘full original gum’
or ‘original gum’
or ‘part original gum’ or ‘large part
original gum’ - None of the foregoing descriptions
clarify whether a stamp is unmounted or mounted mint |
