I have an itallian ww1 war medal bronze cross, where can I find out what it's worth and possibly sell it?

Question

on the front, there's a crown, followed by the letters EV111(I think it's a kings initials). below that it says "merito di gverra" and below that there's a roman style sword wrapped in oak leaves. On the back, there's a shining five pointed star. If it has any worth, I would really like to sell it, but I don't know how to find out it's value or who would want to buy it. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Your first stop would be your local coin dealer. Don't expect him to be real impressed: the Italians, being Italian, cranked out a lot of medals to decorate their soldiers, and I suspect that yours isn't rare. But I don't know for sure. There are dealers who deal exclusively in medals, and to find these you'd need Google. But take it to a coin store, first.
