Christian Zulus Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Dear Vic,congratulations to your promotion to the rank of a "Senior Member" .Great and artistic stamps - I never saw them before .I myself have a small collection of the well known stamps of the 1940s showing the Soviet awards - you can see them in the 1st book about CCCP-Military-Awards from Dr. Herfurth. They are very common and not rare at all.Years ago I bought a very nice made "souvenir"-album with a collection of stamps dealing with Lenin inside. Also not rare and rather common.Appropriate stamps & souvenir pins & badges should belong to every serious collection of CCCP-Awards Best regards Christian

There's some nice stuff floating around out there. I used to find tons in a dealers junk box of foreign coins and another of currency. He didn't specialize in that stuff so in the junk boxes it went regardless of condition. I'd find stuff from the 20's, 30's and 40's in there all the way to present day. And all for less than dirt! I loved that place. But after about ten years of that the owner and his wife both died at nearly the same time of cancer. Shop was sold out, closed up and not there the last couple of years that I was in Florida. It's a shame as although he was one of those people who takes some time to warm up to you, once he did he was really nice as was his wife and the rest of the employees there. Spent a ton of hours there going through stuff and made a ton of great deals. Boy do I ever miss it!Dan

Chuck In Oregon Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Hello OVLet me add my congratulations. You add a lot to GMIC and I always enjoy reading your posts.I like your stamps. While in Tbilisi I bought 50 or so stamp albums and many other envelopes and folders stuffed with Soviet stamps. Mostly a pack rat thing, something to pore over and enjoy. I have some of them sorted by year and in stamp envelopes by catalog number, but I still have many, many hours of enjoyable learning and cataloging to do. I also bought quite a few Soviet coins, and a lesser number of Imperial Russian and ancient and modern Georgian coins and even some ancient Parthian coins. I even found, with my metal detector, the first Macedonian silver drachm ever found in Georgia. They wouldn't believe me when I ID'd it for them but I had found the same type of coin in Macedonia, so I was pretty confident. They eventually had a museum ancient coin specialist confirm my ID. I also found some 16th century Persian coins and, as I had agreed to do, I handed them over to the site archaeologist. He said "That's just junk. You can keep them if you want." As always, one man's junk is another man's treasure.I still use the larger, later Soviet coins for 1-, 3- and 5-dollar poker chips. They play well and they are good conversation starters.Good luck with your next 1,000!Chuck
