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 .....???

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

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.

BM plus booklet sn 2674883 $43
BM plus booklet sn 2286612 $35
ORS sn 486322 $55

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

Harvey Lipp · 01-07-2016, 03:33 PM

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

***CtahhR*** · 01-09-2016, 10:26 PM

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.

I am still a buyer and always a Yorkshireman. I have been getting requests or should I say begging letters....

I am offered items on a sliding scale, especially if I commit now. I would say some items are falling 8-12% a week, others by the month but it is almost universal.

Orders of Lenin are once again selling for under metal content.

If people aren't watching the market on a weekly basis they may be shocked, especially if they are trying to sell.

I went back and did the math, no I haven't seen Lenin's being sold at melt value ($1100) yet..if you do, send them my way!
