HuliganRS Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 Here's an interesting one!This is the offically struck Medal of Nakhimov that was never approved by the government but was struck by the mint in anticipation of it being approved! The whole batch was ordered to be destroyed but a few pieces made it out the back door and there are a few dozen in the wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 850 years of Moscow and a 60th of GPW. That's it for RF medals. I've also a 60th partisan medal on hold from Ron which I will get this month. Will be looking for more this year that's for sure. Edited January 6, 2006 by Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
