The AE coin is somewhat remarkable
I believe it is from Stratonikeia ?
So much effort put into erasing Geta from the obverse
With the addition of the counterstamp too ! yes I like it alot, its a story within the story, we will se if I can get it, its in a lot with 30 bronzes. Thank you for pointers Thank you Victor, very helpful. Is the mark beneath the top of caduceus silvertesting marks? |

Well curiosity got the best of me. I bought the lot for 250 dollars with bp and postage ( alot more than 50  But I can refund if I dont like it. Was alot of other smal bronzes included, I expect them to be common and bad quality. The one at cng sold for 2800 idk know if that includes bp. Will post pics next weck when it arrives  |

I think it reasonable to think ..
You robbed them !
The Caracalla bronze is well worth what you paid
That leaves the other 35 coins on the table 'gratis'
I seriously doubt you will ever regret this purchase
But if you do .
Message me !!!!

Message me !!!! Positive news thank you. Well even if the counterstamped is in F or G they seem sought after. Its a coin that tells 2 stories. Will post a thread for the rest when I get them. Most of them seem to be late rome and many found in england so most likely corroded. I'm a silverbuff so bronze is new territory. Didnt get the silverones forgot to bidd  Edited by Moniker

Your Caracalla/Geta looks quite large !
Judging by the holder it looks larger than 35mm
I am very impressed
You did quite well !
