Did you win this on ebay a few weeks back? If so, I'm very sorry for bidding you up...but I wanted it as well haha (I bid 75) congrats on the find! If you ever want to sell it, let me know  I really liked how it has the full legend on the obverse..when I was researching the coin I didn't see to many! http://www.ebay.com/itm/As-CALIGULA...p=true&rt=ncEdited by NorthSideTy

I actually tried to message you about it as I thought you might be lurking in the wings .......
I am not unhappy at all though !
If you check Vcoins for similar ones the dealers are asking triple what I paid.
I am more impressed with your ability to search for the good stuff !
Well done .......... grasshopper

Checking now I see #3 bid 70 euros
So the cost to me was minimal
BTW
I bid double that !

I know, you got it for a great price!! I looked at a lot of examples on Vcoins and a variety of auction sites..but...for the price you paid, none of those examples compare!! I only learn from the best thanks |

I seen you double bid haha so I figured there was no chance of me getting it. Unfortunately for me (but fortunately for you) I had bought a lot of Denarii for my birthday so I had to take it easy..or the girlfriend would take me out  You honestly did a GREAT job cleaning it! Looks awesome Edited by NorthSideTy

Great pick up! I'm still on the hunt for an attractive Caligula for myself.
That coin just really gives him that terrorizing look!

Great pick-up and nice to have a little friendly competition. Just do me a favor and don't bid on any early dated European coins!  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
