Welcome to the Ancient Coin Fakes and Deceptions Discussion list. This list is for civil discussions about modern forgeries and ancient counterfeits, and is unrestricted and normally unmoderated (but we reserve the right to moderate people not complying with the rules).

You may discuss, in a civil manner, coins you think may be forgeries, and ways of detecting forgeries. Flame wars and personal attacks will not be allowed, and absolutely no advertisements of coins for sale will be allowed. Links to images of questioned coins must be in a form that does not identify the coin's owner without his permission (You may link to images via your own website or the list's image file space.) Any infraction of these rules may result in the offender being placed on moderated status, or expelled from the list (at the discretion of the list owners.)

This is to be a forum where opinions and ideas can be freely exchanged in a civil manner. The overall goal is to share knowledge in the hope that we will all gain insight into identification of fakes and forgeries, but please remember that we are not the internet police.
