Also unfortunate is the fact that forgers are getting better and better. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some people I met who were very experienced in US coinage were frequently fooled at the recent ANA summer seminar for counterfeit coins. Remember, they were examining US coins with which they have had a long experience. It would not be surprising if many people are fooled by an excellent forgery of a rare Ancient Decadrachm. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think too many collectors delude themselves on their ability to detect modern counterfeits, including Ancient collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>g.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
