/\ interesting.


would anyone know the current collectors price for an original, Order of Friendship of Nations?

An update on the falling prices.

A supplier of mine has dropped the prices of ALL items by 35-40%. I don't see this as a short term bubble, nor do I see it as the bottom of the slump.

Remember to adjust your budget accordingly.

Well, I've been out of touch with market for couple of years now, and wondering if there is a legit place left to buy medals and orders anymore. Back in the days this forum was the birthplace of my collection. Now days .....???

[CtahhR]

Still this forum. Prices have tumbled tremendously in the last year so adjust your wallet accordingly. Researched Medals For Bravery $10? Yes please!

[Nexorcist]

Thanks Ctahhr, what I meant was, is there any reputable sites left besides this forum.
Once in a while I drop in on ebay and I get horrified by the garbage in there.

I am looking for current market values of the above orders. Any assistance or information would be appreciated.

[Harvey Lipp]

I have been trying to determine a fair value for this order plus award book for insurance purposes can anyone help?

[CtahhR]

The answer is "how long is a piece of string", Considerably less than 8 years ago but still negligible.

Without proper information you can insure against nothing.

Definitely a buyer's market out there. Seems to be much more supply coming from the former USSR as well, for all the obvious economic and political reasons. Interestingly, prices on Russia coins have not softened as much as those on militaria.
