<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2044937, member: 19463&quot;]My favorite Geta is the low grade but left facing as for which I might be more apologetic if you can show me a better one (for that matter, any other one).&nbsp; Compare to this denarius and the comment that it is not known for Geta. </p><p><br /></p><p>A bit younger is the denarius which is common for Geta.&nbsp; For some reason his young coins seem easier to find well made.&nbsp; Maybe he had fans at the mint but Caracalla was a brat???&nbsp; Maybe the mint was just less careful the year before Geta was Caesar so he missed out on the bad looking coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]374250[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]374265[/ATTACH]&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>More ordinary is evidence that Caracalla was not the cutest of the kids.&nbsp; It is a Caesar denarius with sacrificial implements.&nbsp; These tend to be raggedy like this and often missing more legend.&nbsp; It is not my favorite Caracalla portrait but probably more accurate than the more handsome ones like the sestertius (which is my favorite Caracalla Caesar portrait).&nbsp; Both show a pointy chin not seen on Geta.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]374255[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]374264[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
