Thanks gents, all good feedback. :thumbsup I agree, they are going to be more desirable over time, but I do mean the run-of-the-mill variety, many of which come from the looted USSR "ordenskiy fond" in 1992. There were over 400,000 awarded like Bob says, so post-WWII ones are not rare.. Interesting to see the actual figure of around $350 + melt value for a run of the mill Lenin.
Regarding rarity, there were a lot fewer "October Revolutions" awarded, but they are a lot less valuable on the market too.. So to me, it does seem to be directly related to the gold/platinum content. Interesting discussion. :thumbsup
