<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2737082, member: 74282&quot;]If you&#039;re considering the Second Punic War period, keep in mind that there are both Rome mint examples and also examples coming from several different field mints, both fully-anonymous and with various symbols. Each mint had its own style as well and I recommend checking out the <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=as+janus&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=3&amp;company=83&amp;auction=1307&amp;lot=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=as+janus&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=3&amp;company=83&amp;auction=1307&amp;lot=" rel="nofollow">various Janus-headed asses in the RBW collection</a> to get a feel for them. There are quite a few listed, most relatively common though most examples you find will be in rather mediocre condition and even the most common RR bronzes tend to be rare in problem-free VF or better condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>My recommendation would be to try to figure out if there&#039;s a particular style, mint, symbol/monogram or period you want to target then start watching auctions closely. Roma just put up e-Auction 36 recently and it has a pretty impressive selection of RR bronzes, many ex RBW or ex Andrew McCabe. David Hendin(Amphoracoins) lists a bunch of RBW collection duplicates on eBay every few weeks as well and listed several last night, so that might provide some opportunities.</p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to PM me as well if you have any questions, I certainly understand how these coins can be overwhelming and confusing![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
