<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3742737, member: 72790&quot;]I recently acquired this coin as it appeared well struck with a nice old cabinet patina. It weighs in at 17.0 grams. The folder says &quot;Lifetime Issue&quot; and from Asia minor mint. The obverse shows what appears to be a tiny janiform mark, possibly a control mark. I admit to knowing not that much about these issues so I am asking members who are more well versed in this coinage,[ATTACH=full]1003806[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1003809[/ATTACH] how can the coin be ascertained to be&nbsp; a lifetime issue? What indicates that it is from an Eastern mint rather than, say Macedonia itself? Thanks for any other information you can tell me or direct me to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
