The Numismatic Counterfeit Resource Thread

MacCrimmon

When I read Dimitri's description concerning the 1851 5 Dr., specifically Milan, it brought to mind something I ran across a few months ago whilst searching for info/pricing data on Eliz. II sovereigns.

I'll start with Robert Matthews authentication page.

I would suggest that members of this community post any web links pertaining to counterfeiting as a virtual library resource. We can keep this bumped, and added to as time goes forward.

Fantastic idea!

Great idea.
I've used Mr. Matthews services once before and I was very happy. He produces very detailed reports.

You can always use these - Counterfeits - I need to update though and new links, haven't done that in a while.

Here's an interesting article, delivered before the Numismatic Society in April of 1843, that talks about history of numismatic forgery throughout the ages:
