Gene - You only know half of the story how this one
man piece of work fooled collectors. Before you
came on the scene, this man was fooling European
collectors and well-known European coin dealers with
his filth. Most of this is new to you since you
haven't been in this very long. The man was an
"artist" in what he did by covering up bad strokes
of the brush with vivid pigments (book). He was
stopped.
