Riley1965 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 As I know this dealer well I have to believe that it is a fair price. I was just suprised, as it was not awarded thus possibly decreasing its value.Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a much greater percentage of people out there who collect by type and/or condition. I can't tell you how many times I've seen research thrown away from awards or groups because the buyer just wanted the award(s) because of a rare variation. This will go in someone's collection who appreciates the numismatic value of the piece, and who wouldn't give two cents (or kopeks) for who it may or may not have been awarded to.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Having been a "variation" collector once upon a time, I can appreciate & understand that position...... but not at the expense of destroying research and/or groups. It's the research angle of Soviet that intrigues me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley1965 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I agree 100% !! For me, it's the research that I love. I have a husband & wife group researched and translated and my first ORB is undergoing research now. Believe me, Research is where it's at!!Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
order_of_victory Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Personaly, I am one of those people who collects because he wants the full set but if a medal came with research I would keep it with the medal for re-sale purposes.At the moment though I wont be researching any of my medals because I would rather spend the money on expanding my collection.Just my two rubles..........Order of Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley1965 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I still add to my collection every month and find the money for research.Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
