<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2511749, member: 19463&quot;]A few questions:&nbsp; How does the fact there are a dozen Caligula denarii currently on sale relate to it being a rare coin?&nbsp; At any given moment are a higher percentage of Caligula denarii in existence on the market than other coins that may show up once a year at most and may sell for less.&nbsp; I suspect that the number of people who want a Caligula for keeps and the number who want one for resale to other investment oriented buyers is a different proportion than Medoraman&#039;s example of a&nbsp; Constantine VII silver coin naming Christopher.&nbsp; The most rare legionary denarius of Septimius Severus (my specialty) sells for less than a Caligula in similar condition but compare the number of I MIN, XXII PRI and XXX VLP sold this year to three Caligula types.&nbsp; For that matter, I wonder if there have not been more Caligulas than all the Legionaries.&nbsp; Do many well to do collectors try to collect every Caligula or is the demand mostly for the portrait?&nbsp; I know of a collector specializing in Otho.&nbsp; Is there a specialist in Caligula?&nbsp; Regalianus?&nbsp; Everything?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
