[QUOTE="CrustyCoins, post: 678703, member: 19115"]I once tried to get as many counterfeit Indian Half Eagles as I could for the sole purpose of photographing them and writing a paper. I found one dealer that had a whole tin of them in the back waiting to be sent for melting and he would not sell or loan any, I had another national dealer look for some at melt for me at shows and he came up short. Basically it's not easy if the fake material is not readily available and don't know anyone willing to pay more than melt to get them from folks that won't beleive they have a counterfeit coin. I'd love to re-start the project if I can get stuff to photograph. :) I was thinking a downloadable .pdf work in progress or a constantly updated web page would be fun. Maybe this could be a combined CT project.[/QUOTE]
