<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jay GT4, post: 3330164, member: 88526&quot;]I&#039;ve wanted one of these big Republican Janus/Prow&#039;s for a long time.&nbsp; Finally found a good one at a great price and with a great provenance!&nbsp; These big coins are usually pretty worn since they circulated for so long.&nbsp; This one still retains a lot of it&#039;s original detail and hasn&#039;t fallen victim to the dreaded tooling so common on these. It&#039;s an Ex-RBW duplicate coin and ex-Peus, auction 330 from 1991.&nbsp; Having a good provenance is becoming increasingly important on these.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]882349[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-152919" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-152919" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-152919</a></p><p><br /></p><p><b>P.
