Message:: [QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 7600652, member: 86498"]In reply to gsimonel. The Aes coinage in the name of Alexander have simply not been studied to any degree. Unfortunately neither has the aes coinage of his father Philip II. Because of this we cannot tell if Alexander continued to mint aes coins in the name of his father, nor can we really separate those issues minted for Philip III. Thus it is very difficult to ascertain which of the aes coinage in the name and types of Alexander III are lifetime. So given the very limited amount of information available, that except for the issues with Basileos and those cited by Hoover or Price as being posthumous. You are reasonably safe to assume that the ae coins in the name of Alexander  are likely to be lifetime. However I would think that the coin with the best chance to be a lifetime issue is this one Alexander III Ae Unit Rv eagle  HGC 928 The few that I have seen of this type tend to have a high relief obverse image. Again this is NO LONGER my coin. [ATTACH=full]1308815[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
