[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 25373794, member: 110226"]The Caligula AE as is a mainstay for most collections, being the most available type along with the quadrans for this emperor, but finding a nice one is not an easy task, and if one is encountered there is often a pretty hefty premium, especially if the coin is slabbed. This is the best example that I own, purchased from a local San Jose coin dealer in 1991, who is no longer in business. Caligula, AE as, Vesta SC reverse, 37-38 AD. 13.0 grams [ATTACH=full]1624300[/ATTACH] For contrast, here is a much rougher example, purchased from an Israeli dealer over two years ago. It is probably a local find. Caligula, AE as, Vesta SC reverse, 37-38 AD. 10.25 grams [ATTACH=full]1624301[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
