[QUOTE="ArtDeco, post: 7366933, member: 119259"]I don't know what resources to look for reguarding greek coins, I'm unsure when my coin was struct or if this is a posthumous mint or a life time mint of Alexander III. I bought it slabbed by NGC off eBay and NGC stated it is a life-time issue coin during Alexander III's lifetime but I read some information here that if Zeus's legs are crossed in the reverse then it is a Post-Humous issue. This coin is 17mm and weighs 4.19 g. Here is the NGC [URL='https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/4682217-387/NGCAncients/']page[/URL] for the coin. Some upclose pics, [ATTACH=full]1283833[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1283834[/ATTACH] Any information on when it was struct or whether it was during or after Alexander III's lifetime would be greatly appreciated![/QUOTE]
