    very nice and great website. i appreciate the work you have put into it and your willingness to share the knowledge.

    btw the contemp feits is very under appreciated and under valued niche.

    that is a cool looking site you got set up Stop Motion!

    i do have a question for you and your site... you have on there a device reffered to as a Spuriscope. I have never heard of this before. I did a little research and found them sold for anywheres of $40 up to $250 on ebay. One of the sites i came across called the device a hoax... here it is on the Heritage website: "Spuriscope Counterfeit Detector.
    This is a Ruth Devices Spuriscope counterfeit detector that carries a patent date from 1939. This approximate 4.5 inch diameter plastic Spuriscope comes in its original box and with the original instruction sheet. The detector was effectively a hoax as it operated by dividing the serial number by six to ensure that it matched the plate number. This is a neat collateral item for the small size collector." at this link.... http://currency.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=37064&Lot_No=22054&src=pr

    I only ask because i never heard of this before today! Is it for real? or was it a hoax that will always work? and as an after thought... what would the value of one of these devices run?

    Thanks for your comments. I've used it numerous times on Genuine and Counterfeit notes and it works every time!

    They pop up on ebay every so often for around $50 and sometimes less. It's a very Unique item to say the least! :D
    Thanks!
