Where it came from
Published by the American Numismatic Association in the late 20th century, this reference work emerged during a period of increasing sophistication in coin counterfeiting techniques. As the numismatic market grew in value, collectors and dealers faced heightened risks from high-quality alterations and deceptive fabrications, necessitating a formalized guide to authentication that could be used by non-experts to identify subtle discrepancies in strike, surface, and metal composition.
J. P. Martin authored this volume as an authoritative resource for the numismatic community, focusing on the diagnostic features of genuine coinage versus common deceptive practices. The work is widely regarded for its methodological approach to visual inspection, emphasizing the importance of die markers and technical analysis. It remains a foundational text for those seeking to safeguard their collections against increasingly professionalized forgery methods.
