Hello Goga Palkin,
My name is Emmanuel, from GMIC.
I collect modern african countries medals for about 25 years.
Just a question, the Burkina Faso Medal of Local Collectivity, might you think about to sell it ? Or barter it ?
Regards.

Hello Great Dane,
Beautifull photo, I do not remember I had seen the Silver Jubilee Wedding Medal of Queen Margrethe II in color.
Maybe one day I can get one, but recent royal commemorative medals from Denmark are rare on market.
If ever you know one person, who could have such a medal for sale, my email is emmanuelhalleux@hotmail.com
Regards.

Hi Emmanuel,
I'll keep an eye open, but they are hard to find. As you probably know, the nos. awarded for the various jubilee, birthday and commemoration medals vary wildly, depending on who the monarch decides should be 'in scope'. Like from the Queen's 50th birthday medal (26 awarded) to the 70th birthday medal (450 awarded).
I don't have the award nos. for many of the newer ones.
Auction house Bruun Rasmussen had a selection for auction last year (I think) from one of the Queen's lady-in-waiting who passed away. Those medals went for hysterical prices - probably because most of them hadn't been on the market before.

I know Bruun Rasmussen, but the shipping policy is not that always simple.
I bought from them only ounce, and to avoid problem, I went to Copenhagen by my self, taking 1st morning flight, then last evening flight to return Bruxelles.
I also this that, to have the occasion to do a few others things in Copenhagen, as there is (was) still a shop with a few medals on that time. And that day I catch a Civil Defense Long Service Medal + a Danish Peacekeeping Group for Bosnia, so I was quiet happy.
I bet by a middlemen, I got from Rasmussen, the Queen Margrethe II 70th Anniversary. But I paid 2000 €. The seller told me, that a prince Hendrik Memorial Medal had recently been for sale for about 5000 € (but I was not able to buy that one). The 2 Medal for Queen Ingrid 50th Anniversary of Arrival & Memorial medal 2000, plus the Queen Margrethe II Silver Jubilee 1997 and the Frederick IX Centenary Medal, I got them though a middlemen who knew an ex danish royal household retiree on Spanish Riviera. And these 4 costed me much much less (about 600 € each).
The Queen Margrethe II 50th Birthday, with a so low mintage, I bet, it's out of reach.
With all the havoc due to coronavirus, I do not even know if I will ever be able to go Copenhagen again....
I do not know if you have also connection for swedish medal, but in Sweden I miss only the King Carl XVI Gustav 50th Birthday Medal 1996. I ounce bidded on one in a Kuenker auction. Even my bid was high, someone from the auction called me, to be sure I wished to confirm my bid, .....which I did, but I was overbid. It was Kuenker June 2012, I left a bid of 1800 €, and it was sold for 1900.
Regards.

Ahh... you have a couple that I'm still missing... ?
As should probably be obvious from my postings, I collect Danish medals and orders (I'm a Dane who emigrated to Canada about 7 years ago).
I'm a member of the board of the Orders and Medals Society of Denmark (OMSD) and the website (omsd.dk) is my creation... not many other 'technical' people in that group ?
I haven't had any trouble getting items shipped from Bruun Rasmussen (if you're willing to pay the price). They have my credit card and address on file, and it normally goes smoothly. Flying from Canada to Denmark to pick up is normally not an option...

Hello Wayne,
For me medals is a serious topic. I will be back in Bangkok on Wednesday 14 September, till Friday 16 September. I use to stay at Shangri La Hotel. I can be contacted there.
I can come to either Siam Paragon, or Central World (however no BTS on Central World).
But what I do not understand, is why you DO NOT contact me by email ?
Regards.
