<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2487938, member: 76194"]Yeah, this is one of those coins where the buyer will have to decide what's more important for him. In this case, I wanted the best possible portrait of S. Severus I could find for around $125 or less. He is more of a filler in my collection, as I honestly don't care as much for him as I do for his son Caracalla. He's there because of who his son is...so I went for portrait above anything else as that's what mattered most to me. It didn't feel right to move on to my 3rd Caracalla without rectifying the lack of a S. Severus portrait in my collection. I suppose I should probably get a Geta too for the same reason as the S. Severus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next year I want to add 4 or 5 new Caracalla denarii to my collection. He is fastly becoming my favorite Emperor. And why not? He was such an awesome dude.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
