<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 3142958, member: 90666&quot;]I posted on another thread my views on the second worst and worst coin handbooks in my area (Republican coins):</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p><i>Rainer Albert&#039;s book is only the second worse handbook on Republican coins ever. At least I can look at the photos and note &quot;fake, tooled, altered, wrong attribution, another fake, more altered coins, same photo as used to illustrate a different type 10 pages back, yet more fakes&quot;.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>The worst book ever is the Spanish FFC (Calico) handbook on Roman Republican coins. Calico and friends made up non existent coin types using PhotoShop. They altered inscriptions, added symbols etc. The photos in FFC are fake photos. That&#039;s the worst ever. </i></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>I have other non-handbook terrible books I could add to the list, but I would first like to invite others to contribute examples of really terrible numismatic works in their own areas. I betcha there&#039;s loads of bad examples.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
