[QUOTE="Ian, post: 160272, member: 283"]Aidan, I don't know where you get that from in relation to the 1793 Lady Godiva tokens, the subject of this particular thread. All those lady Godiva tokens dated 1793 are counterfeits. All those dated 1792 are valued higher by collectors than those of 1793. I'm not aware of anything (market trend or catalogue wise) that would demonstrate to the contrary. Of course, there is nothing on earth preventing you from paying over the odds if you really want, but......... The reality is that the counterfeits are well known and catalogued. As such collectors will most likely want to collect them as part of the series as a matter of course. i know that I wouldn't throw any away! ;) The other associated reality however is that their value is indeed *less* that that for 1792. Aidan, just go on collecting what ever you feel like collecting matey. It generally pays however to be able to differentiate bona fide from fake. What you care to do with the knowledge once so armed is entirely up to you.[/QUOTE]
