Bad Metal: Copper & Nickel Circulating Contemporary Counterfeit United States Coins, by Winston Zack

A magnificent, 264 page, full-color masterwork, printed and bound in the US, and a book that I've been wanting to read for close to 40 years! This is not simply a catalog listing of known, contemporary, die-struck counterfeit US copper and nickel coins, it is a riveting, engrossing history of that counterfeiting business, from top to bottom! Winston's research sheds light on the people, their operations and every aspect of the "coins" that resulted. The first offering of this book was at the recent Baltimore show, and sales were very excellent. Our supply is limited, so get your copy early!
