One last comment then I have to run for a few hours. I looked back at my copy and there IS an embossed or embossed-type stamp in the middle. It’s like it was pressed in, with no coloring of any type. I do not see this on the close-up of Obama’s birth certificate BUT it is so faint on mine I’m not sure if it would show up on a scan...although I seem to think you’d at least see something different in the pattern. So, not sure what to think.
That embossed seal is what makes it a ‘CERTIFIED’ copy.
