[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 7943567, member: 111387"]Hmmm... From my personal experience, I've noticed the opposite. I've often found Domitian to be the cheapest to acquire of the '12 Caesars' among all (Imperial) types, with only the middle bronzes of Claudius somewhat relative. When it comes to (comparable condition)denarii. While portrait coins of Julius Caesar are in a league of their own - Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero silver are all pretty tough to find under 3 figures in better than 'fair' to 'fine' condition. The same applies for Galba, Vitellius and Otho. Of the three Flavians.. My experience is that coins issued under Titus are the most expensive, then Vespasian, then Domitian. Of those latter two, it is possible to find coins in VF condition <$100. Domitian/Minerva types seem to be a dime-a-dozen. As always, YMMV.[/QUOTE]
