Hi, Time to reshuffle the collection a little. Lots of modern silver coins, but there are also some XIX century medals like this one. I am located in Japan so shipping will be done from the place. Send your offers please here is the link to gallery of pictures: https://postimg.org/gallery/1dy8xfi4g/ P.S. some of these coins are listed there too. (search for silvernumiz)

Hello SchutzenfesterInfo is helpful, thank you. I have got the mintage info while browsing through the whole thread. I am not into medals much but the details on the medal caught my attention. 100 years ago people made medals that look as a real piece of art. Medals people have here in the thread is something unbelievable. The medal got MS65 from NGC. I bought it slabbed already as the second I saw it I have got a thought that I must have it. Questions: 1. I have noticed that very few shooting medals graded ms65 or above (common is ms63). Does the grade matter when pricing the medals? 2. What is a surviving mintage of the medals? I read somewhere in the thread, that some medals were melted before. Is there any way to determine what is a population of these medals today?

I was looking at Swiss shooting talers for awhile now. Came across this medal. The only info I get is what is written on slab - 1894 Swiss Shooting Fest, Lausanne.

Is it fake, restrike, or proof? any other info?

yeah, I found them ... read some articles about Empire gold Thank you!

bobh, thanks for reply. As of mintmaster on edge - i couldn't find it. Edge looks like this http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/267/tor5rub.jpg/ As of weight - 4.29-4.31gr ... though my scales are not that good ... margin of error is pretty high

I wonder if they real according to pictures as I am newbie in that field.

Yeah, bargains show up time to time, but I find soviet and imperial silver coins pretty much overpriced comparing it to ebay's.

Proof like Lenin was sold for $160, may be there were too few of this sets still alive? Or hiding somewhere and no one cares to sell them. I got it in Japan, with shipping and etc for 1000 yen, equivalent of $12. P.S. Overall I am surprised and the same time relieved - can sell some of these and add silver soviet and imperial coins for the proceeds

Have 1 set from 1970 1 rouble with Lenin. Tried to price it before listing on ebay. Here what the winning bid for one alike was : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&hash=item231c16d360&item=150795113312&nma=true&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&rt=nc&si=hMOW41kw5%252FlpQ4Zb8KEQkqC%252FR7Y%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc#ht_3022wt_1023

If seller is new to ebay I doubt he will get a decent bids for the coins. May be to offer the coins' set on different forums is an option, but again, from the user with low feedback or few messages I doubt there will be a glut of buyers. One of the options is to ask someone with ebay account to do it for you, but you will have to pay some %, because the ebay account holder might pay the taxes.
