We are pleased to announce that the entire series of The IBSCC

Bulletin on Counterfeits has been incorporated into

Forgerynetwork.com with permission

from the copyright holder.

Included are all the coins photographed, published and condemned by

the IBSCC - the International Bureau of the Suppression of

Counterfeit Coins. These all have been classed as "Forgery -

Published" as they have been condemned by a recognised institution

and will be the first to be displayed in any search.

The database now contains almost 6000 records - 3000 of these being

published counterfeits. The database is by far the largest public

counterfeit coin database in the world and is now an essential

tool. All purchases made should be checked against this database to

help verify authenticity.

The database also contains are large number of english hammered

counterfeits

We wish to expand the database further and encourage participation,

whether this be contributing items, commenting on contributions or

sponsoring or making donations so we an incorporate more published

counterfeits.

This has been a huge undertaking, thus we hope you will take

advantage of this essential resource.

Best Regards

Mark Naber..
