    ORDER OF THE POLAR STAR

    How much would it cost without enamel damage - $30,000?

    In today's market? Probably. I was shown one in UB ayear ago with a silly asking price of $25,000 (and it MAY be this one, though I don't recall the enamed damage -- new damage? -- have photos somewhere -- and if the silly/stupid step of hiding the serial number had not been taken . . . grrrr!!).

    "(A 32.2/M 12.2) -- Type 2.2 (Screwback; downward-curved МОНЕТНЫЙ ДВОР mintmark; Uighur; SN directly below screwpost); Low = 1151, High = 2789; 1941-??"

    Ed, I believe this Type is not a A 32.2, but a A 32.1 instead, right? A 32.2 has the inscription in the front in Cyrillic, not Uighur.

    "(A 33.3/M 12.4) -- Type 4.1 (Pinback, silver); Low = 15074, High = 30409; 1970-2003"

    As for this one, isn't it a A 32.3 instead?

    "(A 33.4) -- Type 4.2 (pinback, bronze); Low = 31835, High = 39785; 2003?

    (A 33.4) -- Type 4.3 (pinback, bronze, no serial number)"

    Same with these, aren't they A 32.4 instead? The A 33 series is for the Mother Heroine series I believe.

    Thanks,

    Update on typology and serial number ranges. The confusion thrives.

    Type 1 (Screwback; МОНДВОР mintmark; long oval design with two red banners, ~300 awarded) - Low = 316/High = 792

    Type 2.1 (Screwback; upward-curved МОНЕТНЫЙ ДВОР mintmark; Uighur; SN at 6 o'clock near bottom) - Low = 9/High = 2831

    Type 2.2 (Screwback; downward-curved МОНЕТНЫЙ ДВОР mintmark; Uighur; SN directly below screwpost) - Low = 1151/

    High = 2878

    Type 2.3 (Screwback; no mintmark; Uighur; SN at 7 o'clock) - Low = 1562/High = ????

    Type 2.4 (Screwback; hand-engraved МОНЕТНЫЙ ДВОР mintmark; Uighur; SN at 6 o'clock near bottom) - Low = 1710/High = 1776

    Type 3.1 (Screwback; Cyrillic; slightly concave reverse; SN at 7 o'clock) - Low = 2/High = 6952

    Type 3.2 (Screwback; Cyrillic; flat reverse; SN directly below screwpost) - Low = 5094/High = 9941

    Type 3.3 (Screwback; Cyrillic; flat reverse; SN at 6 o'clock) - Low = 10007/High = 15000

    Type 4.1 (Pinback, silver) - Low = 15015/High = 30426

    Type 4.2 (pinback, bronze) - Low = 31650/High = 39785

    Type 4.3 (pinback, bronze, no serial number, unawarded escapee?)

    New in my collection!

    Newly in, a shortened screwpost so easy to scan.

    A type 2.1 (?) (A 32.1). The mintmark is straight (enough); I am coming to believe all the mintmark differences here are meaningless.

    Number 9. <img src="http://gmic.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/jumping.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":jumping:" border="0" alt="jumping.gif" />

    That's nice, I have one coming my way which could be best descrined as an older brother to this one:) Pics to follow.

    Got my uigur polar start with serial nr 8 in today. It's in almost pristine condition, perhaps unawarded?

    Pics to come this evening.
