hc8604 Posted March 20, 2011 Share #181 Posted March 20, 2011 Does anyone know how much these are worth; a mere mortal one? Dave $2550 for a Taiwan period medal is way over priced. The Admiral's name associated with it (along with the certificate) drove up the price. For over $2500, I rather save up and buy a WWII first class version. Taiwan items don't appreciate very high as there not a lot of people collecting Taiwan items. Its first class though, but the person who it was awarded to drove it up. I wonder who bought the medal though... I have always thought all medals of the ROC were numbered (even the medals awarded to Americans back in WWII). Today, Taiwan medals are still numbered, but I don't know why this one was not numbered on the medal and the certificate; maybe a replacement set? It came with an English certificate, but I rather see the Chinese one, which I doubt one was ever made. Still a nice Cloud and Banner though.

It did have a Chinese certificate at one time as I have the document from the Admiral's files labeled "translation" (the ROC was very good at that as I also have several Chinese language invitations to Sharp from Chang Kai Shek and others officials and they all came with translations).
