WWII Memorabilia

I have a world war 2 medal, its the defence medal. The ribbon is green and orange. Should and can I sell it?

I have the medal not sure if its australian but it has from memory king george on it. I know my father did not fight in the war so how he got this im not sure.

Almost all medals from wars during that time period are worth something.

There are thousands upon thousands of collectors out there just dying to get their hands on some of these things, and willing to pay a hefty amount for them, too.

To get decent pricing for it, I would take it to a place that buys gold, almost like a gold and silver exchange.
See what they will give you for it, write it down, then do the same for a couple pawn shops. Usually they won't give as much as gold and silver exchanges, but the number of war memorabilia collectors has risen so you never know.

Lastly, after you have all the pricing down from different places, check Ebay and see if there's any listed on that website.
That's what most pawn shops get their pricing from anyway (I've worked at a few).

You should have a general idea of how much you could get for it, and I'd also post an ad on a place like Craigs List. Someone might be willing to pay higher than what you find at all the shops!

Good luck.
