Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 12/03/2011 9:01 pm All three are nice coins, but my favorite is the Caracalla. It's got better detail than the other two. I also am partial to Caracalla coins because of the detail available at good prices. This one is a younger Caracalla and if you look as time progresses, his features become more harsh. Interesting Emperor, interesting coins. But let me be clear, I'll take any of the three for my collection. Thanks for sharing these today. Report this Post to the Staff
Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 12/03/2011 9:17 pm I agree those are nice coins. I wonder what price was paid for those three in approximately that grade. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 09:30 am I have looked at a number of Caracalla denarii, and notice the portrait work is often very good. I find it interesting how portrait styles vary widely by ruler and mint. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 1:19 pm There not bad, but I would have liked the reverses to be a little better. These were part of a sale that I made of one of my Byzantine coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 2:05 pm We should set up a bartering club. If you have coins you want to trade rather than sell. Hmmmmm. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 2:17 pm That sounds like an excellent idea. Report this Post to the Staff
