An Idea For Numismatists of All Levels...

Perhaps this has been done, if so, please point the direction...

I was thinking that it would be nice to have a central data location along with photos as they were available of known counterfeits, common alterations, fakes, etc. PCGS has the book they send out with subscription but how about a central internet site that covers the topic that can be used as a reference? Then as new things come along they can easily be added, and the site updated.

Does something like this exist?

    Thanks for bumping my OP...

    I was wondering how it got ZERO replies while the locust and sky falling threads were flourishing... thus my "hmmph" thread.
