echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/12/2018 9:42 pm The coin looks OK IMO though struck on a smaller flan the weight is right. Martin Price wrote the book on this series I have the PDF version which will take some time to go through. Bob is good with attributing this series he should be able to help more.

AlRashid Valued Member Canada 167 Posts	Posted 12/12/2018 10:56 pm Thanks Bon and Ron and Jskirwin for helps. @jskirwin yes I won this today the reason I get this is I have some posthumous coins of Alexander III and Philip III but no life time issue, I heard the lifetime issue has parallel legs and posthumous ones has cross legs of Zeus so this one is my only life time issue with parallel legs Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/12/2018 11:26 pm For a time after Alexander's death coins still had the uncrossed legs, so the uncrossed and crossed legs used to ID between the two is only true to a certain extend. Price explains this. Report this Post to the Staff
