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.

I agree those are nice coins. I wonder what price was paid for those three in approximately that grade.

He had nice features when he was young, but became a terror not too many years later. I like the SS the best out of the three.

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.

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.

We should set up a bartering club. If you have coins you want to trade rather than sell. Hmmmmm. What do you think?
