Counterfeit mis-struck and unofficial us coins - don taxay - looked old so i got it for $5. Printed in 1976 and may very well have been sitting on the shelf since then image

numismatic forgery - charles m. larson - 2004

us gold counterfeit detection guide - bill fivaz - spiral bound. 2005 - hundreds of images. looks extremely promising

i was looking for "assassination of counterfeiters" by CIA co-authored by NSA, but to no avail image

i got all 3 for less than $30 and i am really looking forward to seeing what they have to offer.

    not sure if you all are aware, but you can borrow books from your local library, and heres a kicker, you can request books through thier share program, kind of a read it before you buy it thing. there is a website i used to have saved that had just about every book ever printed and what library system it would be shared through, it takes a while to get to you, but its really worth the effort.
    regardless of how many posts I have, I don't consider myself an "expert" at anything

    All 3 books are good additions to one's personal library. There is also a video of a talk by Larson (see coinvideo.com) that is a good companion to his book.
