Not Kosher: Forgeries of Ancient Jewish and Biblical Coins by David Hendin (2005-01-15) - gebunden oder broschiert

All of the more than 550 coins illustrated and discussed in this book are Not Kosher... in other words they are forgeries, often intended to deceive unwitting collectors. David Hendin has collected and researched these neglected forgeries for more than 35 years, and now makes his diagnostic methodology and huge database of photographs available to scholars, collectors, and dealers. Hendin writes: "When apparently legitimate college professors and scholars were prepared to authenticate, as genuine, ancientJewish coins that even a beginning collector could identify as spurious, the time had come to document all those known fakes."
