Julius Caesar- need
Augustus- have
Tiberius- have
Caligula- need
Claudius-have
Nero- have
Galba- need
Otho- have
Vitellius- need

Which Caesar is the hardest to get?

Claudius is tough to obtain and perhaps Caligula and Vitellius too.

I like the Galba and the Domitian is a sharp looking coin.

A decent Caligula, particularly from the Rome mint and not from the provinces, has always seemed the most elusive (and expensive) to me.

So many of his coins were defaced, overstruck or melted down as a consequence of the “damnatio memoriae”, where the powers that be took steps after Caligula died to erase anything that evoked memory of the now disfavored emperor.

Edited to add: Awesome looking Domitian, Lord M.
