The Gordian reads ETE or year 5. I agree it odd someone did not take the Pius. Sorry you found the Septimius least interesting but I'll offer...
There must be something about Leo that resulted in greens. I got mine in 1992 and it still has the sand over the green. I bought it mostly...
This is as I see it. The top coin is definitely a 'Hoard' fake. The middle is IMHO 99% certainly real (ex Frank Robinson and bought for the...
