<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Treashunt, post: 177946, member: 6763&quot;]Ben:</p><p>&nbsp;Great question, about the education.&nbsp; Most of the &#039;experts&#039; out there are (I believe) self taught, or worked for other authenticators or major services.</p><p>&nbsp; The ANACS (for one) has a very large collection of fakes that they use for identification purposes, and, whenever there is a new one that they identify they try to keep a copy of their records and for study.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Also, I believe that the ANA has classes each summer that include counterfeit detection.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Check their website for more info, but, I, for one, am not a fan of theirs, until they fire Cippoletti. (That&#039;ll probably be enough for him to fire off another letter to Coin World, and use his usual legalese to justify the ways that he is destroying a fine institution. I should include some typos so that he can say that I am ignorant, not like his educated self.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
