<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1896008, member: 112&quot;]Not really. Most books only cover the subject in general, for all coins, not for any specific series or type. <i>Counterfeit Gold Coins</i> by Alfred Dieffenbacher covers just gold coins, but it covers counterfeits for many countries not just the US.</p><p><br /></p><p>The PCGS grading book has some stuff in it, so does the Fivaz book. And some of the books written about specific series or types also often have a chapter or a few pages on how to detect fakes. But just like with almost any subject having to do with numismatics there is no single book that you can read and study and know the subject. You have to read and study entire libraries of books to do that. And top it off with articles written on the subject.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me put it this way, if you get various degrees for numismatics, counterfeit detection would be a separate degree all by itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
