[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 3056682, member: 8959"][SIZE=5]Thank you for posting this, Jack. A very interesting topic! The group of experts behind this work is to be commended for the excellent work. I am amazed at the quality of these early struck counterfeits. I would love to add of an example to my collection, and it is good to know that the collecting community has not been alerted to the existence of these high quality fakes. I also seem to recall (probably from something I read in Bowers and Merena quarterly magazine back in the late 80's, early 90'S0), that another known counterfeit was known back then which was very deceptive and it could only be distinguished from genuine specimens because it lacked a tiny "spike" off the side of one of the bars. Maybe somebody recalls this. [/SIZE][/QUOTE]
