Albania Albanian medal price list?

[Bryan]

Would it be possible to perform kind of a price list about Albanian medal? I see some orders on the market (eBay), but I have no clue if something is a deal or if it is out of price!

Hi Soviet:

That's the 64,000 Lek question. The market for communist Albanian medals is, to be charitable, very young and very limited in scope. The prices I have seen have ranged from the dirt cheap to out of control crazy (I've seen Skanderbegs range from 2 Euros to $300). I've tended to stay away from trying to "price guide" Albanian medals because of this flux, plus it seems lately the availability has increased somewhat the past two years or so. I think prices may start to settle down a little once all the "big" collectors of Albanian material get what they need for their collections.

I know, not the answer you were hoping for, but had to be honest

Cheers,

Eric

It is a bit of a gamble... I've paid amounts which I though were very nice, only to then see 2 weeks later a ridiculous low price elsewhere.

Signs of an immature market still I guess.

So this is quite difficult to evaluate what is a good price if I understand.
