pylon1357 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I don't know anything about these medals as I don't collect U.S. medals at all. But to me, for this representing the countries most prestigious medal, it seems awfully low price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HetzersGonnaHetz Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Thinking about it, I think it's only in the States where it's illegal, but I'm not sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 As far as I know you can buy and sell a MoH, as long as it is outside the U.S.A. Those who own a MoH in the U.S.A. that have not recieved it like it should, risk jailtime. For the price: it is just what the seller asks! I had a original first strike airforce MoH. Sold it for about 350 euro, because could not get more! To many people who are affraid to buy it because of so many fakes going around. It came to me in a collection from a family who's father died and was a military collector for about 50 years. family did not know what they had and I bought the complete collection and among that was the MoH. Have attached an old picture that I still have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davejb Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Thank God that our VCs are considered too rare to be just sold off for pennies, its a great shame that these types of awards from America find their way out of family possessions 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 @Dave I don't think that the MoH that I had ever was issued to someone, because normally they are named on the back and mine was still blanc. And most time these medals come on the market BECAUSE FAMILY sells them!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right!Families are more interested in the sheer value of the medal itself rather than in what their relative(s) has(have) done to earn them,often paying their courage and gallantry with their lives ...and if you read the citations you'll be moved!Too bad they don't pay the due respect to the recipient selling them!
