When I first got my iPod a few years ago, I loaded it with music and discovered in the recesses of my hard drive an .mwv of Jim Stonefeel's phone message that I had downloaded years ago. A keeper. ~Anka |

Acquire any new Owls? I don't know if you know this, but there's a
female on the other side -- Athena -- a female god anyway, commonly called a goddess. I just updated by page on modern forgeries of these, adding a lot more content, both visual and verbal: http://rg.ancients.info/owls/forgeries.html I actually have one more on the way and not yet illustrated there, a donation from a dealer wanting to contribute to this effort. This page still won't be anywhere near complete, just getting more and more comprehensive, a hopefully useful service for collectors wanting to buy what's arguably the most famous coin of all time but not wanting to get scammed with a fake. -- Consumer: http://rg.ancients.info/guide Connoisseur: http://rg.ancients.info/glom Counterfeit: http://rg.ancients.info/bogos |

Yes, I did, though I wrote what I did in English, not Latin, because unlike you I was trying to communicate to a broad audience. Yes, I document fakes at my Web sites and in my articles and I will do so in my books when I write them. And that's a bad thing -- you've said so yourself, many times. Anything to do with fakes is bad, including their study. Bad, bad, bad. "Devil worship," to use your choice and revealing term. The Bulletin on Counterfeits/Counterfeit Coin must have been a bad thing too. It documented a great deal of fakes. Same with PCGS's book Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection, and Ilya Prokopov's six books documenting ancient coin counterfeits emanating from Bulgaria. Same with Martin Price and all the other authors of ancient, medieval, modern, and other coin books who've reserved part of their plates to documenting forgeries. Bad people, bad books. You think this is all bad because as you've said many times all a person needs to know is authentic coins in order to spot fakes. That's also very wise and learned of you, revealing deep knowledge of the subject matter. I don't mind talking about this, again, after this hiatus, particular if I can gain some new knowledge. Along this line, anybody come across and new Athenian Owl forgeries lately that aren't documenting at my page on these? If so, let me know. This is worked occasionally in the past. The more we get the word out, and the pictures, the more we prevent forgery scams among those who choose to educate themselves before buying. It's also fun stuff, helping like this, studying forgeries, revealing diagnostics, all the rest, part of the fun of collecting and studying authentic coins. It's the ... flip side. g You too, Anka. Send me one of your fakes, or a pic of one. -- Consumer: http://rg.ancients.info/guide Connoisseur: http://rg.ancients.info/glom Counterfeit: http://rg.ancients.info/bogos |
