Diane's Oval

One of the many benefits of being a lapidary artist is the opportunity to spend time doing something you love to create one-of-a-kind art and jewelry to sell to someone who finds it enchanting or to give as a gift to someone special. It’s a win-win, whatever the reason or result.

Hot On the Heels of Coin Dealers Peddling Fakes; Rare Coin Market Weathering Pandemic Well

Acting on a tip from the Anti- Counterfeiting Educational Foundation (www.ACEFonline. org), federal and local California law enforcement agents now are investigating the attempted sale of $400,000 of counterfeit coins including a fake example of the historic 1879 Coiled Hair gold $4 “Stella” that brought $300,000 at auction last year. The seller also is a suspect in an earlier case involving fakes, according to Doug Davis, director of the ACEF Anti- Counterfeiting Task Force (ACTF).
