<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2681140, member: 19463&quot;]Did anyone ever answer his question?&nbsp; I&#039;d say MS 3/4 4/4 which is not all that high for a coin of this period when there were many well struck coins.&nbsp; You might find a die duplicate if you looked at a thousand coins or so.&nbsp; Common ancients were made from many dies and the dies were individually hand cut (not hubbed).&nbsp; A very small percentage of us bother with die identities and those are usually only interested in a few specific types for this study.&nbsp; Expecting to find a specific die of a common coin is a lot like collecting 2017 Lincolns by die except that, with ancients, you might actually know when you found a match. </p><p>Take my die ID quiz at the bottom of this page.&nbsp; I do not collect Caracalla very much but these coins are his father&#039;s.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/dielink.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/dielink.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/dielink.html</a></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/die04.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
