Bob Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Herds are not just known to be seen with respect to the best herder badge but also with Sukhbaatar's!Here's mine. Beware, risk of enamel overdosis which can be harmful to your life savings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 The Sukbaatar may well the the sexiest order around. It is what "hooked" me onto Mongolian stuff.I hope the "new Mongolia" keeps it, even in its current ugly form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 And now there really is only 1 available on dealers sites... close to 2K!!! Remember the "good old" days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Actually, there is a second one available, but it is of the current "brassy nasty" variety and unnumbered (unissued?).Still, in short supply. But, when you realize that we are looking at a total issue of Sukhbaatars only in the range of a couple of thousand pieces, it is rather amazing at the number of pieces already in captivity.But, still, where DID I park that tardis to get back to the "good old days", . . . !!

Bob Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Recently found another one for sale on a German dealers site. 2K USD as well. On the other hand, can't think of an award which is more deserving of the term "eye candy" than an SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 these are pretty damn nice awards!! how much do they normaly cost??? Just noticed one at EUR 1600 (probably the same one Bob referenced just above?). Did not memtion screwback/pinback or number, but didn't seem to be the current nasty type.
