Illustrated Paperbacks with high quality, enlarged photos of genuine coins and the fakes that imitate them.
The Original quarterly publication was published 3 times per year since 2000 in collaboration with the American Numismatic Association (ANA)
It would be nice if ANA would consider selling individual reports, since most collectors have a limited focus on these rare counterfeited coins. If any CCB subscriber has such reports which he/she does not need that match my Ceylon/Lanka/colonial south-Asian coin needs I am very interested in buying them. Please send me E-mail.
I give below a partial index of the First 9 Volumes of the IBSCC report published by IAPN form 1976 to 1984. I hope ANA will consider publishing a complete Index to this publication so that even if collectors don't have it online they will know a report exists on that particular coin they are just about to invest a fortune,
According to a 2006 report referenced in E-Sylum the entire Index of series of The IBSCC Bulletin on Counterfeits has been incorporated into Forgerynetwork.com with permission from the copyright holder. Unfortunately the Full text of the IBSCC report is not given.
