Over the years I have purchased scores of coins from them. I particularly like their fast shipping with FedEx. </p><p><br /></p><p>I did not participate this weekend because I&#039;ve already committed this month&#039;s budget to other upcoming auctions and they didn&#039;t have anything I really &quot;needed&quot; for any of my subspecialty interests. </p><p><br /></p><p>But I did participate two weeks ago and won these coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1330341[/ATTACH] </p><p>Anonymous, Second Punic War, 218-202 BC.</p><p>Roman Republican Æ as, 27.8 g, 31.1 mm, 1 h.</p><p>Uncertain mint south of Rome (Campania?).</p><p>Obv: Laureate head of bearded Janus, I above.</p><p>Rev: Prow of galley, right; I above, ROMA below.</p><p>Refs: Group D1, McCabe, Andrew. &quot;<a href="https://www.academia.edu/15757344" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/15757344" rel="nofollow">The Anonymous Struck Bronze Coinage of the Roman Republic</a>&quot; in <i>Essays in honour of Roberto Russo</i> / ed. by Peter G. van Alfen and Richard B.
