In Texas this would fall under Criminal Simulation:
        Section 32.22. Criminal simulation.
          (a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to
              defraud or harm another:
                (1) he makes or alters an object, in whole or in part,
                so that it appears to have value because of age, antiquity,
                rarity, source, or authorship that it does not have;
                (2)he possesses an object so made or altered, with
                intent to sell, pass, or otherwise utter it; or
                (3) he authenticates or certifies an object so made or
                altered as genuine or as different from what it is.
        (b) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.
        (Chgd. by L.1993, chap. 900(1.01), eff. 9/1/94.)

Actually most law says just the opposite today.
