<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 432847, member: 7638&quot;]Rusty, to my knowledge, there are no books on counterfeit trade dollars, unless they are privately published. The worst fakes are cast, the better ones transfer die forgeries, and the best (if they have been done yet) made using EMD technology, which can reproduce detail down to hundredths of a mm accurately (million+ dollar machine and trained personnel required).&nbsp; ICG has already discovered fake common date MS Morgans submitted to them, detected only because the luster was wrong. Doubtless there are extremely good TD fakes too, as you have pointed out (I would really like to see some good photos of that item!).</p><p><br /></p><p>We have seen half decent fake TD&#039;s in fake PCGS holders, when good quality fakes in fake holders show up on the bourse (and they will) this will cause a serious loss of trust in the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
