This book was not written to scare you out of collectin or investing in coins, but rather to give you a greater awarness of how large a problem the the counterfeiting dilema actually is. This problem cannot be ignored with the hope that it will go away, but must be met head-on.

Giant strides have been made in the past five years to protect our hobby from the counterfeit element. The passing of Hobby Protecting Act will keep more of the unmarked colonial and private mint replicas from appearing on the scene. The presence of th American Numismatic Association Certification Service makes it possible for everyone to buy their coins with confidence that they are indeed genuine. This service will prove to be the salvation of the numismatic hobby. Dealers and collectors alike shun the spurious material, and for most part, should not be a knoing part of a counterfeit transaction. Books such as this one, will inform the collector that certain pieces do exist and to buy accordingly.

With a little common sense and a few inexpensive aids, you the collector can distinguish over 90% of the counterfeit material from the genuine. This book will aid you to that extent.
