<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joecoincollect, post: 2140561, member: 71338&quot;]I read a book I think called Numismatic Forgery. The author makes an important distinction between &quot;forgeries&quot; and &quot;counterfeits.&quot; I think some or all in here are using the terms synonymously but there is a difference. Counterfeits were and are made to fool merchants. Forgeries are made to fool collectors. Someone stated that there&#039;s no need to study forgeries because in essence they are materially different and so on. The author of that book states that there are forgeries still undetected and may never be unmasked. The content in the book is convincing and scary. Forgeries can in every detectable way pass as genuine pieces is his point, and this can happen for a short or long while. To study forgeries is helpful to say the least, if not interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
