<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Macromius, post: 3664841, member: 90772&quot;]It&#039;s pretty obvious that there are more than a few experienced collectors here whose philosophy is not to comment on fakes or tooling. This is probably a wise thing. The late Thomas Hoving, former director of the Metropolitan Museum Of Art, said that 60% of the art he&#039;s examined for sale was forged. When asked, &quot;When was the golden age of fakes?&quot;, he answered <i>right now</i>. He also said that pointing out an obvious forgery was one thing, but calling an authentic work of art fake is a sin. I&#039;d rather keep my mouth shut than be wrong about a coin<i>.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
