<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 934872, member: 66&quot;]May I give a different take on the book mentioned in the original post.&nbsp; I bought a copy back when it first came out.&nbsp; While it has some good information, I found it to be poorly written, and in great need of a good editor.&nbsp; It was too repetitive, and with a fair number of typos, incorrectly labeled images and factual errors.&nbsp; I when I read it I kept notes and I had 15 hand written pages of errors or corrections that needed to be made.&nbsp; To a large extent I felt the book was an advertisement for ANACS.&nbsp; But that wasn&#039;t too surprising since Virgil Hancock was one of the major driving forces behind the creation of ANACS.&nbsp; It was his baby and he pushed it every chance he got.&nbsp; In this book he got a lot of chances.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you can borrow a copy from a collector or a library it may be worth getting and reading.&nbsp; (ANA members can borrow it from the ANA Library for just the cost of postage.)&nbsp; I would not recommend buying one.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as information on how counterfeits are made I would more strongly recommend Coin Forgery.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
