The top seven reasons why you should consider expertizing services from the American Philatelic Expertizing Service (APEX) are:

• To avoid financial loss and disappointment.
   
• To have a warranty of genuineness.
   
• To have proper identification of paper, color, watermark and grills.
   
• To know if a stamp is never hinged or has been regummed or had a cancel removed.
   
• To know if a stamp has been repaired or has hidden flaws.
   
• To know if an item has been reperforated or perfs have been trimmed to resemble a coil or imperforate stamp.
   
• To make it easier to sell an item, since a stamp that has a certificate attesting to its genuineness is more likely to sell.
   

 APEX utilizes the services of more than 160 specialists and a variety of high-tech equipment to provide guaranteed opinions. Some of the items that we have certified are pictured below:
