    Authentication Nedded for Soviet Order of Friendship of Peoples

    Hi Guys,
    Order of Friendship of Peoples, 77,000 awarded.
    I have had this medal for some time.
    I was scanning through a couple auctions and found a couple selling at $500.
    I do not want to sell, it is part of my collection.
    My two questions are:
    1.) Is this an authentic example?
    2.) Are they really worth the money they are bringing?
    Many thanks for your assistance.
    Best Regards,
    Anthony

            These are heavily faked but from those pics your Friendship looks good. With Soviet awards it is always best to provide a clear, level view of the front and back.

              Many Thanks Albert----the reflection was a killer trying to photo.
              Is this medal worth $500 or is that price inflated?
              Thanks again,
              Anthony

                From my very limited exposure it seems 500USD is the asking price for mint ones. Seen some with their award booklets move for 500 to 600USD. Condition is key though. Enamel chips and any other damage will strongly affect the price. Two questions, there is a prominent line under the number, right? I think I am seeing it but am not sure. And what is with the bottom rivet, seems the color is more yellow and it looks flat, is that just the lighting?

                  Thanks again Albert....Yes there is aline under the umber, and the bottom rivit is the same color as the others, but is a bit more flat.
