<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Colonialjohn, post: 2472799, member: 57741&quot;]This prompted me to produce my own book on contemporary counterfeits. My book will deal with fakes from 1500-present and uses Material Analysis (i.e., XRF and SEM/EDS specifically) heavily to confirm these fakes or collectible contemporary counterfeits. As withe the Gurney book on Counterfeit 8 Reales (Amazon Books) period fakes or contemporary counterfeits carry a premium but modern forgeries mostly transfer dies such as from China certainly do not. Casts normally do not but some electrotypes are collectible like with New Jersey coppers from Dr. Maris NJ book. Its true transfer dies are tough to decipher but after a few pieces one has an eye to detect these - hopefully my book can aid the collector. Its being titled after Bill Anton&#039;s Forgotten Coins book (Krause Publications - 1992) but I add in Foreign coins and Chinese fakes in the mix. Around December 2016 - possibly earlier for this 25th Anniversary release. </p><p><br /></p><p>John Lorenzo</p><p>Numismatist</p><p>United States[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
