Prices are up!

 


Prices have gone up for Coburg Badges especially the second pattern ones. See an early post from June that was sold for €7400, and in this case was sold for
€8600 from the Dan Tarkington collection at a German Auction house. Won't take long until they hit the 10k mark in a few years time. Note that €8600 + 25% commission = €10,750 buyer's fee.

Another set offered on the market

 

 

This was a set offered on the market a while back which came with a set of three mini-stickpins. It is interesting to note that of the three stickpins, one was been marked M1/52 for Deschler and Sohn, München. The rest were unmarked. The badge is believed to be original. These stickpins have only surfaced in recent years, and very little is known about its authenticity.

Another Coburg Mini-stickpin

 

 

Another Coburg mini-stickpin surfaces from a German dealer. Genuine or not, no one knows. These have started to surface only the last 2 years with at least 8 being recorded sold in the market.
