Message:: [QUOTE="sand, post: 7759680, member: 118540"]That's an interesting coin. Have you been able to find a reference number, for the coin? Like a Sear number, or a Price number, etc? Did the seller provide a reference number? I wonder, if it is a lifetime issue, versus a posthumous issue. Most lifetime issues have Zeus's legs parallel, not crossed, but that is not always true, I think. It looks similar to Sear 6737, because it is an obol, and because Zeus's legs are crossed. However, in Sear 6737, on the reverse side, there is an "anchor and forepart of grazing horse", to the left of Zeus, I think, as well as a sigma-omega inscription, underneath Zeus's throne. On the reverse of your coin, there seems to be a "B", to the left of Zeus, and no inscription underneath Zeus's throne. Perhaps your coin is in the Price book. I'm not very knowledgeable about Alexander The Great obols. Also, I don't have a Price book. I just looked in my Sear book, and ACsearch, and Wildwinds, and Google, to try to find your coin, but I didn't spend a lot of time, trying to find it. I imagine, that other CoinTalk members, are way more knowledgeable about Alexander The Great obols, than I am. I have an Alexander The Great drachm, and an Alexander The Great tetradrachm, both posthumous issues.[/QUOTE]
