I understand that the CCF Selling Rules exclude selling counterfeits.

I have no problem with that.

I collect contemporary counterfeits but I see them for sale very rarely.
My earliest is contemporary counterfeit Commonwealth (of England) penny and the latest is a £1 coin !

Am I allowed to add contemporary counterfeits to my wants list ?
Rest in Peace

Doesn't seem to mention about trading, just selling faked/counterfeit items...BTW, I consider those two separate catagories, mostly it's semantics, Counterfeits are produced to full the masses as real items, It is deception up front. Fakes, reproductions are generally produced as replicates and most often are stated/sold as such or are easily determined to be a cast copy through weight and sight. Counterfeiting is wrong period, end of story, as the masses chanted "Lock her up!' should be their fate. Replicators may be presenting a form of historical perspective we don't normally see. I too purchase known fakes, knownreplications mainly because at this stage in life I will not be able to purchase the real. I do mark the as COPY myself so future "owners" make no mistake, altho the errors are OBVIOUSLY a fake.

Just to be clear, I'm not interested in buying modern fakes or (modern) reproductions of older coins.

However, I have occasionally made mistakes and some have just been part of a mixed auction lot.
