Title: Becker the Counterfeiter by G. F. Hill | |||
SD-111 |
General Info: Author: Sir George F. Hill Edition: 1995 Reprint of the original 1924 version Bound: Soft Cover Pages: 128 Illustrated: 19 Plates Book Size: 9" H x 6" W ISBN: 0942666283 ISBN: 9780942666281 |
Comments: Becker The Counterfeiter by Sir George F. Hill, was originally published in 1924. This is an excellent book on the die-struck fakes by Carl Wilhem Becker, who worked in the 1820's and is considered by many to be the most talented forger of classical Greek and Roman coins that ever lived. His forgeries still fool the occasional collector and dealer, and are collected and have considerable value in their own right. All the 360 types he is known to have forged are illustrated well enough to make die matching possible, making this an invaluable reference. |
