<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Original Skin Coins, post: 2510948, member: 80261&quot;]I just finished reading Suetonius&#039; Twelve Caesars and am considering putting together a set in silver. Before I commit to that undertaking though, I have concerns about acquiring a few of the coins, most notably the Caligula denarius.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t realize quite how scarce the coins are - a quick scan of VCoins, CNG, Forum Ancient Coins, and even eBay shows no non-fourrée (or, in the case of eBay, no non-counterfeit) examples.&nbsp; How often do these coins come along, and how much should I expect to pay for an average example?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Out of curiosity, does anybody know why there were so few denarii produced under Caligula?&nbsp; My assumption is it was related to the financial crisis during his reign.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
