More than just countermarked ..
Caracalla literally "erased" his little brother Geta !
Very collectable

that's not a CC behind Athena, but the top of a caduceus. for comparison--  |

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 !
And yet plain as day they left his name below
ΓETAK !
If it sells cheap .
(These days could mean 50€ !)
I think it well worth the price of admission
But I am partial to Geta bronzes

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 !!!!
