<p>[QUOTE="Mr.MonkeySwag96, post: 8519338, member: 100951"]I finally got myself a budget Caligula AE As for my 12 Caesars collection. I focus on silver denarii when building my 12 Caesars set. However, I had to resort to bronze coins for Claudius & Caligula as their denarii are too expensive for me. Claudius’s Imperial bronzes are quite common and affordable, so he wasn’t a challenge for me. In contrast a Caligula As is still pretty pricey, especially in higher grades. I don’t want to spend too much money on bronze coins due to my fear of them being ruined from bronze disease. I finally bought a budget friendly Caligula As from Ken Dorney last week:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1506217[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Description</p><p>Caligula, 37 - 41 AD AE As, Rome Mint, 30mm, 9.28 grams Obverse: C CAESAR AVG GERMANICVS PON M TR POT, Bare head of Gaius left.
