[[File:Forgery_detected.jpg|250px|thumb|[[Blathers]] commenting on the forgery in {{NL|short}}.]]
A '''forgery''' is the outcome of buying a fake [[painting]] or statue from [[Crazy Redd]]. A forged painting may appear as a regular painting until sold to [[Tom Nook]] or donated to [[Blathers]] at the [[Museum]], where both may identify the picture. In {{NL}}, players can tell forgeries apart from genuine paintings or statues by noticing the differences. For instance, the genuine [[Graceful Painting]] has the woman facing to the right while the forged version has the woman facing the other way.
+
A '''forgery''' is an article of [[Art]] that is fake, that may be obtained from [[Crazy Redd's]] or, starting in {{NL|short|nolink}}, from a [[villager]]. Compared to authentic pieces of art, forgeries are close to worthless: they may not be donated to [[Blathers]] at the [[Museum]] and are worth zero [[Happy Room Academy]] (Happy Home Academy in {{NL|short|nolink}}) points. Prior to {{NL|short|nolink}}, there is no way to determine whether a piece of art is fake or not prior to purchasing it.<ref name="WW-LethalLink99" /><ref name="WW-Liquefy" /><ref name="CF-Liquefy" />
  
When the player is speaking to Redd about a painting he has for sale, his emotions will often signal if it is a fake. If he displays a glint in his eye or the "mischievous" emotion, the painting is probably a fake. In fact, showing any emotion while he describes it is an indicator. Despite this, the only way to truly tell if it is real or fake is to buy it or notice the differences in ''New Leaf''.
+
==Prior to {{WW}}==
 +
In {{PG}} and related titles, all paintings sold in [[Tom Nook's store]], the [[catalog]], or at Crazy Redd's are authentic, although [[Redd]] charges the [[player]] four times than how much they would actually cost when purchased from the catalog.<ref name="PG-Liquefy-ItemList" />
  
After the player purchases a painting from Redd in {{WW}} or {{CF}}, there are two ways to verify it: trying to sell it to [[Tom Nook]] or donating it to the [[museum]]. Both [[Blathers]] and Tom Nook are able to identify it a fake and will refuse to accept it. The item then changes in name from the bought painting's name to "forged painting". Players can also verify the painting via Tom Nook's catalog. If the painting that was bought is genuine, it will be listed in the catalog. If it is fake, it is absent from the list. Also the name of the painting automatically changes to "forged painting" after a day after it has been bought, even if the player hasn't verified it with [[Tom Nook]] or [[Blathers]].
+
==In {{WW}}==
 +
[[Tom Nook]] still sells paintings, although they are [[spotlight items]] and only the [[Famous Painting]] and [[Fine Painting]] are available for purchase. Outside the catalog, the primary method of acquiring new paintings is from Crazy Redd's, for double the regular price. Contrary to popular belief, there is no way to determine whether a painting is authentic or not prior to purchasing it, and Redd does not give any hints either.<ref name="WW-LethalLink99" />
  
In {{NL}}, the player can only attempt to sell it to [[Reese]] or get [[Blathers]] to look at it. Timmy and Tommy do not buy any paintings or statues. However, unlike in {{WW}} and {{CF}}, the name of the forgery does not change after being verified by Reese or Blathers. For example, if the player showed either of them a forgery of a dynamic painting or a robust statue, the name of the item remains as "dynamic painting" or "robust statue".
+
The painting may be identified as fake by donating it to [[Blathers]] or selling it to either [[Tom Nook]] or [[Timmy and Tommy]], where they will comment on it. Upon doing so, the item's name changes to "forged painting". The item's name also changes after one day from purchase, even if it was not inspected. Forgeries may be sold to Tom Nook for 10 Bells.
  
Although they are rejected for the museum and store, the painting may still be displayed as furniture in the house and the image will be that of the original paintings. However, its points for the [[Happy Room Academy]] is lower than that of an original painting. In {{WW}}, players may exchange a forged painting for 100 [[bells]] upon signing up for [[insurance]] from [[Lyle]]. Players can also give the forged painting to a [[villager]] as a gift, or they can sell it to another player. Finally, they can sell the painting to Tom Nook for 10 [[bells]]. In {{NL}}, the only way to remove the forged painting is to pay a disposal fee after attempting to sell the painting. Players can also remove forged paintings by disposing them in the trash bin.
+
If damage [[insurance]] is bought from [[Lyle]], and a forged painting is given to him, the player will be mailed 100 Bells.<ref name="WW-LethalLink99" />
  
Here is a list of ways to tell the forgery from the genuine.

Blathers commenting on the forgery in New Leaf.

A forgery is an article of Art that is fake, that may be obtained from Crazy Redd's or, starting in New Leaf, from a villager. Compared to authentic pieces of art, forgeries are close to worthless: they may not be donated to Blathers at the Museum and are worth zero Happy Room Academy (Happy Home Academy in New Leaf) points. Prior to New Leaf, there is no way to determine whether a piece of art is fake or not prior to purchasing it.[1][2][3]

Prior to Animal Crossing: Wild World

In Animal Crossing and related titles, all paintings sold in Tom Nook's store, the catalog, or at Crazy Redd's are authentic, although Redd charges the player four times than how much they would actually cost when purchased from the catalog.[4]

In Animal Crossing: Wild World

Tom Nook still sells paintings, although they are spotlight items and only the Famous Painting and Fine Painting are available for purchase. Outside the catalog, the primary method of acquiring new paintings is from Crazy Redd's, for double the regular price. Contrary to popular belief, there is no way to determine whether a painting is authentic or not prior to purchasing it, and Redd does not give any hints either.[1]

The painting may be identified as fake by donating it to Blathers or selling it to either Tom Nook or Timmy and Tommy, where they will comment on it. Upon doing so, the item's name changes to "forged painting". The item's name also changes after one day from purchase, even if it was not inspected. Forgeries may be sold to Tom Nook for 10 Bells.

If damage insurance is bought from Lyle, and a forged painting is given to him, the player will be mailed 100 Bells.[1]

In Animal Crossing: City Folk

Blathers commenting on the forgery in City Folk.

Out of all paintings, only the Basic Painting and the Common Painting are spotlight items, leaving the rest of the paintings obtainable only from Crazy Redd's. In addition, artwork can no longer be purchased from the catalog, which means paintings that were obtained before can only be bought again from Redd.[5]

Similar to Wild World, it is not possible to determine whether a painting is authentic or not prior to purchasing from Redd; however, Feng shui plays a role in increasing the probability of a painting bought being authentic.[3]

Similar to Wild World, forgeries may be sold to Tom Nook or Timmy and Tommy for 10 Bells.[5]

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Inside Crazy Redd's in New Leaf. Notice the forged Wistful Painting (left) and Famous Painting (right).

Articles of art (that is, paintings and statues) are no longer sold at Timmy and Tommy's store, leaving the player with Crazy Redd's as the primary means of acquiring art. Compared to older versions, however, Redd offers four articles of art every time he sets up his tent, and determining an artwork's authenticity just by looking at it (that is, before purchasing) is now possible. In addition, some paintings, such as the Calm Painting, are guaranteed to be authentic.

It is possible that Redd offers two authentic pieces of art[6] (although only one may be purchased). It is also possible that he will offer none.[7] Feng shui appears to affect the probability of more (or less) genuine pieces of art appearing.[8]

Villagers may also offer the player to buy paintings (but not sculptures) from them. They will offer a slightly lower price, although they do not know whether their painting is authentic or not, thus making the purchase a gamble. Feng shui also appears to affect the probability of paintings sold by villagers being genuine.[8] Obviously, some paintings sold by villagers are guaranteed to be authentic (such as the aforementioned Calm Painting).

Blathers, Timmy and Tommy, and Reese will identify that an artwork is fake—the former will refuse to accept the forgery, whereas the latter two will charge the player a disposal fee of 100 Bells.

Spotting a Fake

Animal Crossing: New Leaf introduces a way to determine whether a piece of art is a forgery or not before buying from Redd's Gallery. The following table describes the differences between genuine and fake artwork.
