I had to laugh today. I had noticed a large number of views from a coin community in the Netherlands; wherein if I am to trust Google Translate, I have been slandered as a Professional Forger. First, just let me say I know the reader got very excited to see that I have offered to make some Dutch Siege coins or dies from the 16th Century-and assumed that I was up to no good. Yes there are pictures of actual coins from that era on my site, not that I would ever do an extremely accurate copy of said coins. For that matter I have as yet to EVER produce any of these types! No one has ordered any and I have not made any to date! Second, if you ever bothered to read other parts of my website or have them translated, you would note that I make coins with alternate legends and designs that mimic true coins, but I make them for the reenactor/living history community...that is all I do! Third, if you are a visitor from anywhere and you have a problem/fear/anxiety/hysterical moment about my work, please email me before labeling me in a forum half way around the world. I assure you I am NOT a nefarious rascal out to harm the coin collectors of the world.
