But it's a scan of only one side, and the seal was there, just hard to see.

Funny that the seal is easily visibile on other Certifications, also scanned on one side, as well as at least one Certificate, also scanned on one side only.

Also no matter what you say, I certainly can't see any evidence of the seal in the original "factcheck" supposedly scanned image. I'll bet others can't either

Certainly nothing shows up where the "seal" impression appears in the "photographs" produced well after people noted the lack of a seal. That would be above the word "this" in "INVALIDATE THIS CERTIFICATE" and to the right of "FATHER'S NAME" and "FATHER'S RACE". It should be just above the "reversed" "bleed through" date stamp, indicating when the COLB was produced.

There is also no sign of the fold which by the time photos were taken has "appeared".

If you'll check the "properties" of the images you'll see they come directly from the factcheck site.

You are correct. No one can/could see the original "factcheck" COLB seal with the naked eye. Saying so is being untruthful, but a few claimed that they did.

The seal is impressions in the paper. It is harder to see in the scan. But it is there if you know where to look. I can see it. Polarik acknowledges that it is there.
