Caligula Coin from McAlee collection
« on: November 15, 2018, 07:17:38 am »
Hi Guys

I got this coin 4 months ago and just received it last week. It was an expensive coin and the reason it took 4 months was that the dealer had to apply for french export permit for this. This coin is Ex Numismatic Fine Arts 1982 and comes from collection of Richard McAlee who wrote the book on roman provincial. so it has a great provenance coming with it. It also has amazing eye appeal at hand. This is the most expensive coin in my collection so far. The coin had 92% silver content inline with what is expected from that period of the provincial coins.

Thanks Jay, Alberto and Joe. Yes this is most valuable coin I have currently in my collection and I love it so much. This coin I waited for it to come 4 months due to export permit but it really worth it when I get it at hand I was impressed with it.

I think McAlee used the picture of your coin in his book on Antioch p. 127 !

Nice coin!  Year 3 I believe.   Silver tetradrachms are impressive
