Heritage just had a group of three denarii of Geta as Augustus, which I do not have despite over a dozen as a kid. But I got PO'd over an earlier lot and left the sale. Maybe I should have stayed. Nah, they're out there. Thumbs up to you who have one.

 

Nice coin! Especially like the reverse!
I only have one Geta with a seriously long dreadlock!....
