Ed_Haynes Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) Also - what is a "gold god"???Images of one or another buddha or bodhisattva, as displayed on the traditional "altar" area of the gher, where many display their medals too.The UB rumor mill holds that these awards were "sold North" (as the slang puts it).

Bob Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Not entirely the right way to look at it of course but:- 2000 SB's at 2K a piece- 400 Soyombos at 8K a piecefactor 4-5 in volume and inverse also in pricedoesn't sound that unreasonable... it's more the sudden rise in price that surprised me... 3-4K for a soyombo I always found cheap considering the significance and rarity of this award.with SB's heading toward 2.5-3K... I think soyombos will be quickly heading over 10Kam just glad I got mine when I did as I sense that "Soviet collecting times" are comingwho knows of course how much the researchability now has to do with price increases... it's a whole new ball game now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
