Latest Staegemeir F&R PAB fake

[Thomas Durante]

Hi guys,

Just doing my weekly homework on Carsten Staegemeir and wanted to show his latest creation, a pretty good Frank & Reif PAB fake. The detail is pretty good, but the weird, aged finish and mis-struck obverse rim are common this all his F&R fakes.

Indeed Chris. But I will say its not hard to recognize when its on his "signature" background. Stick this one amongs a few originals at a show and it would be a different story I think for many guys. That is why we must stay vigilant.
