ONE-VOLUME WORK ON U.S. COIN COPIES?

  Speaking of...  One Durst product sits at the ready on my
  desk - the "Standard Catalog of Counterfeit and Altered
  United States Coins" by Virgil Hancock and Larry
  Spanbauer, 1979.    The local museum sometimes refers to
  me callers with questions about numismatic items, and these
  people inevitably have a "rare" coin that quickly turns out to
  be a copy.  The Hancock/Spanbauer book is very valuable
  for identifying the characteristics of reproductions.  Has this
  title ever been updated?  I know of books and courses on
  counterfeits, but don't know of another single-volume
  reference on copies.
