Coingratulations! That's an important hole to fill! Here was how I did it, back when I was doing the Twelve Caesars. Mine was sort of an ugly duckling, but it was a lifetime issue, had a mostly-readable name on the flan, and cost me less than 500 bucks at the time.
3.16g, 17mm Diademed head of Venus right Aeneas advancing left, holding plladium and carrying Anchises on his shoulder. "CAESAR" RSC 12
Is your Caesar denarius encapsulated or did NGC keep the coin raw with an accompanying photo certificate?
Congratulations! It's always great to be able to add a JC to the collection. My first, the very common but very desirable (and therefore, expensive) JC elephant denarius. I got this one a while ago, when it was somewhat affordable. And my portrait issue, despite JC's goldfish like eyes, I'm very happy with this one.
