The bare right breast would certainly indicate Virtus.
I have only bought a couple of Gordies in recent years. Both these were in part lots. I'm sure the rest are still infesting my trays somewhere. I...
You got them all. On some issues I am also working slowly on an officina set but that is more of an incidental chase than a focus.
I have had a very dry period with buying over the last two months. The postman did finally pay me a visit yesterday with a few deliveries for me...

I suspect that the cost to produce these in Bulgaria was quite nominal. These were being distributed in "premium uncleaned" lots and occasionally...
This is my legit version of what the fake should look like. [IMG]
These fakes were quite often seeded into uncleaned lots. The fact that lots of coins suddenly came into the market from the same die pairs was a...
They come with patchy brown. [IMG] and almost black [IMG]
