Coins - 1990 Prestige Set Certificate of Authenticity and Coin Specifications

The Certificate of Authenticity for the 1990 Prestige Set includes information from the US Mint printed on a pale green parchment-like paper using green ink.

The paper is slightly smaller than a regular page of 8 1/2 by 11 inches. Information is printed on both sides with the paper folded in half before being added to the Prestige Set package.

The front of the folded certificate shows the heraldic eagle emblem printed above "UNITED STATES EISENHOWER CENTENNIAL COIN." In large, green letters, "Certificate of Authenticity" flows across the front just above "1990 PRESTIGE SET."
