<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 607268, member: 66&quot;]Problem is it isn&#039;t the easiest book to locate and if you are interested in just US coins it is a little disappointing because it only lists a couple, or at least that was true with both of my copies.)&nbsp; Still examination of the characteristics seen on the foreign coins can help you learn to recognize them on other US fakes.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a better reference but it is even harder to find and considerably more expensive&nbsp; It comes out as a monthly supplement from an organization International association of Professional Coin Dealers.&nbsp; It has detailed pictures of various counterfeit coins with a new counterfeit or two being listed each month.&nbsp; The last copy I saw was listed at over $300.&nbsp; The ANA used to have a similar program back in the 1970&#039;s with new counterfeits being listed each month.&nbsp; They came out in an 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 format with quality glossy photos.&nbsp; Some of the issues on US coins were eventually grouped together to become the ANA Counterfeit detection book.&nbsp; But the photos in the book were not as good as the monthly supplements.&nbsp; I have never seen a full set of the ANA monthly issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
