Our professional view is that forgeries have a legitimate role in a serious collection. Forgeries enable comparison and are thus a valuable reference tool. Of course, forgeries are a collecting field in their own right and enthusiasts often pay more for a skillful or beguiling forgery than for the genuine article.
