Thanks for the feedback guys ...

I'm not sure there's an an answer, but this whole situation does feel like deja vu from my military medal collecting days 40 years ago, except besides the color of my hair, technology has advanced considerably.

I remember that we used to try and ban the publication of medal pics in our monthly paper based club journal to try and dissuade fakers from understanding what correct impressing looked like. Unfortunately, the fakers were also collectors out to make a quick buck, so they didn't need pics as they had the "real deals" to make measurements of impressions and copy from.

Anyway, there does seem to be consensus that publishing pics of fakes without explaining why they're fake, plus links to ongoing auctions or sales of counterfeit items is helpful.
