Assay card or certificate details the results

Upon completion, you should receive an assay card or an assay certificate. This should have details confirming the process and results. Expect such information as date, purity, weight, and dimensions, as well as a unique serial number and mint mark. Each of these data contribute towards verifying the precious metals you are buying or selling are pure.

Certificates of Authenticity are not assay cards

If you are offered a Certificate of Authenticity (CoA), you may want to ask for an assay card or certificate as well. A CoA does not usually mean there was a detailed, expert assay completed. It is often issued with a coin or other commemorative item to verify authenticity, but not necessarily purity.
