mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 12/01/2012 10:35 pm There are many variations of Lindberg medals. Some bring very good money and others do not. If I'm not mistaken, I've sold one of these on ebay about 4 years ago. If I remember correctly, it sold for less than what I paid for it. I think I paid around 35 dollars at the time. Is the 4 digit number added on the medal done with marker or engraved? This will probably not help value if it's permanent damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Gordon New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 12/04/2012 11:13 pm The four digits appear to be black wax marker noting the lot/item number from an auction. I've had the medal for about 23 years. I never have attempted any cleaning, etc. The corrosive pitting certainly isn't helpful. Can I assume yours at $35 was much much better condition? Thanks for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

I think it was more like 45 dollars I paid for the medal. I bought it on a hunch and like many hunches, they don't pay off. Also this medal would have come in a presentation box. If it's only wax, you can use Zippo lighter fluid. Don't rub, just lightly dab. I've removed wax from other metals and glass too. Acetone would probably work too. Report this Post to the Staff
