<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3378289, member: 19463&quot;]Of all Caligula coins, mst common are the Vesta asses.&nbsp; They are so commonly the only coin of this emperor in a collection that there is a stigma attached to owning one in some circles.&nbsp; I have two.&nbsp; The first is the common one with obverse legend featuring (usually on flan) GERMANICVS, the name of his father.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]896635[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>My second one spent several years in my trade stock box with no one wanting it before I realized that it is a more scarce variation with obverse legend advertising Caligula was a grandson of Augustus (DIVI AVG PRON).&nbsp; Those who live and die on the grade due to wear may note that it is a higher grade than my worn coin of the common variety.&nbsp; The rough surface kept the coin out of my collection for years but it will not be given away until I find a better one.&nbsp; Does anyone have a nice example to show?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]896642[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Octavius showed a nice ADLOCVT COH sestertius with this legend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
