This issue of Ancient Times features the third part in our series Counterfeits and Counterfeiters, The Modern World. (For those of you who are keeping count, yes we did skip over part 2. There has been a lot of discussion online lately about detecting modern fakes and it seemed appropriate to put the subject of medieval counterfeits on hold for now.) In the third part of the series we will look at modern counterfeits, how they are produced and warning signs for detecting them. We have also included a gallery of modern fakes for you to examine. We hope that you will find the information useful. As usual, we also have a selection of coins for your perusal. When you are done reading about counterfeits, take a look at our 3 pages of specials. All of them are guaranteed genuine, with a few possible exceptions. (Only joking folks!) For all of the coins listed on the specials page, you can click on an image to see a larger version.
We would also like to take a moment and mention that we are proud sponsors of the WildWinds Databank of Ancient Coins run by Dave Surber. The WildWinds website has been created as a reference, attribution and valuation resource in the field of ancient numismatics. The data presented there is, for the most part, gleaned from online auctions such as eBay. You can view the original image, auction description, the auction's closing date, and the final high bid. A very valuable and continually growing web resource. You can visit it by clicking on the banner above. |
