"These coins were seeded into the uncleaned lost of many of the uncleaned dealers all at the same time. They are not ancient in fabric and stand often stand out amongst the other uncleaned coins. Cleaning them was often a matter of wiping with a cloth rather than long soaks etc. They were undoubtedly modern. It drove a few uncleaned dealers out of business.

This combination of Obv and Rev never existed. Example of uncleaned fakes which turned up enmasse in 2003, believed to have originated in Bulgaria. Quickly identified by the crude style, although originally thought to be Barbaric Imitations when first few appeared. Image courtesy Bob Bischoff at Petroni Coins "
