Jackson Galleries is Internationally known for our objective, unbiased, scientific approach to Artifact Authentication. We pride ourselves on our commitment to letting the artifacts themselves tell us if they are authentic, not hearsay, rumor, stories or associated provenance. Our well-founded artifact authentication method is reliant on a scientific methodology based on known fact compiled and corroborated by numerous related scientific papers by geologists, microbiologists, archaeologists, forensic scientists, and many other related fields. Ego or guessing as was practiced by others from earlier times plays no part. We microscopically examine each and every artifact for specific geologic criteria, as well as evidence of modern manufacture or modern enhancement. Upon completion of the evaluation, either a Certificate of Authenticity is issued, or a detailed letter describing our findings is issued, with copies kept at our location to ensure accuracy and to prevent forgeries.

We also offer our authentication services at various shows around the country we attend, so look for us at the upcoming shows listed in our Show Info section.
