[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 8455690, member: 20480"]Trying to think out of the box, I believe a Collective Counterfeit Coin Registry - one to which victims donate their counterfeit coins for permanent inclusion, cataloging, imaging and comparison - might be a solution all would mutually benefit from. Photographs could be maintained online in a gallery not unlike that in CoinFacts. Some fakes would show up in relatively small numbers, and others might show up in overwhelming quantities. Obviously, there's little benefit to imaging every donated coin, but it might make sense to image a number of grades and more importantly, earliest and latest die states for each counterfeit. In whatever form, I'd think the ANA would have a vested interest in a program which better informs the collecting public and ultimately makes it much more challenging to counterfeit coins of lasting deceit.[/QUOTE]
