Yes, Dave, I have this one. Makes for fun reading! If only I started collecting medals in 1993!

Kind Regards,
Shane Cook.

Shane-

I was in Russia collecting medals when I bought this copy of Avers in 1993. Unfortunately, the prices were never like those in the book (at least they weren't where I was!) It would have been nice though!!!!!

New AVERS #6 - Drastic make-over

Friends,

The new Avers #6 book is out.

This issue looksvery different from the previous ones - it went through the complete make-over and the quality - both of content and printing - is supposed to be improved dramatically.

Rumor has it that this issue was done with the ambition enough to become Russian equivalent of McDaniel's work.

As always with Avers books - it's also a price guide. As we all know previous editions suffered from listing unrealistically low prices. Well, this time they seem to have prices that are more or less in sync with the market realities

Author - V. D. Krivtzov

Published - 2003

Size - 430 pages
Printing run - 2100 copies

Price in Moscow - 2135 Rubles

Best regards,
William

The going rate in Russia is 2135 Roubles.
That's roughly $71 US.

This better be some book!!!
