The contemporary counterfeits ran rampant well into the 1790s, and there is no shortage of interesting examples spread across numerous families. I have not devoted much time studying them, but you would be surprised how often these pieces make it into TPG holders as regal issues. I will not state which company, but one of the major TPGs has a greater propensity to make this error.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, there are instances in which it makes sense for a TPG to certify a contemporary counterfeit. Here is an example of such a piece from my collection. In this case, it is correctly labeled as such by the TPG.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1318814[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
