<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evan8, post: 3885236, member: 74343&quot;]My black cabinet is lacking an Omega specimen. Collecting counterfeits like Omega and Henning and those that are contemporary, are just as important as any other coin in this hobby. Collecting coins is about history and I believe these pieces are just as important to numismatic history as anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>They serve as educational tools and as reminders that people can be fooled. Erasing these from our numismatic history would be just as detrimental to the hobby as erasing the Holocaust from world history. Ok, bad metaphor, but still counterfeits whether contemporary or modern will always have to have a place in this hobby. Doesnt matter if you like it or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think Henning or Omega are gaining anything from their pieces being bought and sold, just saying.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1025816[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1025817[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Seems like these dollars had people fooled for a long time. What are we supposed to do? Destroy them now because they are fakes?</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the OP coin or piece, I&#039;m not sure it&#039;s an Omega piece but could that line on the rim be from a damaged collar die?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
