not only does it say 1956 Flying Eagle, but it calls it a 1956 Flying Eagle Indian Head cent. lol. what the heck is he talking about. he listed an impossible year and two obverse designs as one coin.

i think if you find that coin you should know for a fact it is fake. lol.

Though most of the book is about grading The Official Guide to Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection has a section on counterfeits.
