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
