<p>[QUOTE="Carausius, post: 2622502, member: 76440"]I am the Greek-American that introduced myself to you at a meeting Saturday morning. I meant to ask whether you were still collecting coins, and now you've answered my unasked question. Whether the "good" fakes are worth the price of genuine coins depends, in part, on what you can learn from studying them in hand and what you intend to do with that information. If you intend to publish diagnostic advice in some form, the high cost may pay dividends to the universe of collectors that will learn from your study (as we've learned from your catalogues). If you are simply building a black cabinet as a collecting endeavor, then my advice would be to keep the collection small or focus on the library instead ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
