[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 2209744, member: 51347"]I could really use some help with this one. Stumped here. I was trying to determine what Mint that could have produced this Lifetime Issue of Alexander III, 336-323 BCE AR Tet...16.86g. Obv Herakles, Rev Zeus. 24.6mm. I KNOW that it is in a coffin, and will free it soon. I looked hard under light and lens, and angled it so that a downward Trident (or an upside down Upsilon) shown in the light. It would either be worn or a very weak strike. Or...it could be my imagination. I tried photos at different angles, but the one with the circle below was the only one that shows it. I looked up the mark, and it was the Amphipolis Mint. However, I could only find that on Gold Staters (researched under Wildwinds.) Am I imagining the mint mark? Would this be a proper mint mark for this issue? [USER=15445]@Collect89[/USER] tried looking for a mint mark before, but my photos were poor...
