<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 6031017, member: 19463&quot;]I have always had trouble with the concept that Alexander died and all of a sudden several mints started crossing the legs.&nbsp; There must have been a decision about that time to start crossing the legs but I have not seen evidence that the change was made because Alexander died.&nbsp; I guess part of my problem is failure to understand the emphasis many people place on having a lifetime coin as opposed to posthumous.&nbsp; I can support the new idea making a third category &#039;possibly&#039; which is just another way of saying that we don&#039;t know.&nbsp; I imagine there are a dozen other coin issues that could be separated into lifetime and posthumous based on mints not getting the word in a timely manner using 21st century standards but those don&#039;t carry the market preference for lifetime.&nbsp; &nbsp; We don&#039;t worry about Roman Provincial Alexandria mint coins of the last year of a reign being one way or the other but it seems very important in the case of this one reign.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
