hello all I urge all collectors to go on ebay and check out this listing.. The person who is well known has had quite the impact on Counterfeit Detection and has put together CD of sorts complete with pics.....E-bay # [eBayItem]160363371697
[/eBayItem]
here is the info from the listing...Oh and I do have the sellers permission to do this


"NOW INCLUDES 47 coins FROM NEWFOUNDLAND as well a 1850 Bank of Upper Canada Token. From 2 Dollar Gold to 1944 1 cent! This is an educational package of CD's containing 1200 DPI images that I have used to write articles for newspapers as well as to assist Law Enforcement In Canada fight this horrible plague that is disrupting our fine hobby of Numismatics. The funds raised in this project will be used to offset the cost of the next generation of COUNTERFEIT coins that are now finding their way into the market place! Also, $3.50 from each purchase will go to the RCNA to educate all concerned (as they see fit) about the counterfeits! The images are not borrowed or stolen, they are taken by me of the actual items I have purchased! A complete set of these Counterfeit coins has been donated by me to the RCMP as an educational tool for them. From Large cents Bank Tokens to 2 Dollar Gold are covered. Would you believe that even the 1936 10 cents in VF is here? Well, it is! Purchase of these images (over 160 coins) also gets you the next generation set at cost. You only pay actual cost of Discs and shipping. I am not doing this for the money. Education and recognition is the key! Please, if you doubt my concerns and agenda on this topic go to canadiancoin.com as far as I am concerned, this is where the fight started to get Canadian Authorities Involved. S&H is free to Canada. I will split the cost elsewhere. Please be patient as I will wait to ship every 4 days. If you have ANY questions, please just ask! Remember, it is our hobby! We should let no Counterfeit go UNKNOWN!

Anyone know if these discs are still available or whether there is an updated series out by Mr. Marshall?

I have received two disks recently from Mike. Over 300 pictures of "known" counterfeit/fake coins. Many of which are in my field of interest. I now have another tool to "validate" my coins, besides TPG, knowledge, research, weight, Specific Gravity or Relative density (Vs Water)etc.

I must comment of the picture quality. Each picture is of great enough detail that one can easily "zoom in" and appreciate the errors/mistakes. Well worth the investment in my case, again thank you so much Mike for your hard work.
