Ex Vecchi Nummorum Auctiones sale 8, 1997, 227.

Minor bronzes of the twelve Caesars are among the most difficult of coins to find in high grade as they all saw immediate and heavy use. Their value was too low to be saved and finding any of them in a high grade of preservation is always unusual. I never found the majority of issues in a grade that I wanted to add to my collection. Here is one which is quite nice for the issue. MSG.
