<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 1416376, member: 9204&quot;]I understand what Chris is getting at here. Here are the definitions I&#039;ve used in my thesis:</p><p><br /></p><p>Imitation - a coin made by someone other than the normal issuing authority without intent to deceive</p><p>Contemporary counterfeit - a coin made by someone other than the normal issuing authority with intent to deceive in commerce</p><p>Fake - a coin made in modern times with the intent to deceive collectors</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, in British numismatics, you will see the term &quot;evasion.&quot; This is used for a coin that is a contemporary counterfeit produced with just enough variation to evade counterfeiting laws.</p><p><br /></p><p>So essentially, the intent is what defines it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
