I've been wanting a Caracalla Denarius for awhile, but haven't been able to snag one due to my frugality (cheapness). I may be able to get this one, but I just wanted to get some thoughts on it. My first thoughts are that it looks OK and I haven't seen it on the fake coin reports. But the Flat fields an no flow lines has me wondering. Sorry for the low quality pics it's all I have. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

I'm embarrassed that I even thought for second it was authentic. But my gut instincts are getting better! Edited by travelcoin 03/04/2019 10:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 11:37 pm Caracalla denarii are plentiful and cheap, even in high grades. This is what an authentic one should look like, and it shouldn't cost you more than $40-50 While these are sharper than what would come later, Severan era denarii are generally soft and usually have flow lines and/or areas of weakness on the legend.
