BAY AREA FORGERIES: THANKS AND A NEW QUESTION

  Gene Anderson writes: "My thanks to Eric Newman for
  passing on litigation information concerning the excellent
  numismatic forgeries which appeared in the ANA 1978
  Bowers & Ruddy catalog.  This week I received the catalog
  in the mail as well the April 1979 article he wrote for The
  Numismatist. Both were interesting reading. I learned that I
  should have called my Penny-Wise article "Bay Area
  Forgeries" not "Bay Area Counterfeits". The difference
  being a forgery is intended to defraud or deceive collectors,
  investors, or viewers while a counterfeit is intended to
  circulate. Both are equally false as Mr. Newman says. I
  have one question about these forgeries.  Did any of them
  have an edge that was wide and flat or "proof like"?  Where
  are these forgeries now?"
