ANS Announced a Dec. 5, 2025 Talk by President David Hendin on Forgeries of Judean Coins
The American Numismatic Society (ANS) announced Long Table 255, a talk by ANS President David Hendin, for December 5, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET. He was to discuss fakes and forgeries of Judean coins that have circulated in the market for decades, showing many photos and explaining methods for detecting them.
Correction (Oct 13, 2026): We corrected the headline, summary and body to match the source. We removed unsupported passages on 3D-printed forgeries, the reliability of grading services such as NGC and PCGS, the history of counterfeiting, an online format and investment advice, and made clear that the talk concerned forgeries of Judean coins and was announced for December 5, 2025. The previous headline was "Hendim's 3D Forgery Exposé: Why NGC & PCGS Certification No Longer Guarantees Authenticity."
This article is based on an event notice the American Numismatic Society (ANS) posted on its website on December 1, 2025. The talk was scheduled for December 5, 2025; that date has passed.
