Bob, what's your take on the extent of counterfeit coins on eBay, especially
European crown-size coins? I have seen a few lately that make me wonder - a
high-grade Salzburg thaler, Albanian 5 frang ar, Italian 5 lire 1911 and
1914, etc. The ones I have seen look so good. IIRC the same fine folks who
brought us thousands of fake SVDBs in the 70s also faked many crowns of
Italy and related areas.

It's amazing what can be done with a out-of-production automobile
factory, ain't it! ;-)
