Hill, G.F. Becker the Counterfeiter. (London, 1924).
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. Book Size: 9" H x 6" W – 128 Pages – Illustrated.
