The letters LMD are commonly read as the mark of the Leningrad Mint. Collectors of Soviet pins value the mark because it helps place a badge with a specific producer. Pins that carry the date alone, without a longer slogan, are often the easiest to match with reference catalogs. They are lightweight and can be kept in a small tray or on a display board together with other revolution-themed badges. A collector who already owns anniversary issues from 1967, 1977 or 1987 can use this one to fill a gap.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67681929855125,"sku":"EBAY-407187365304","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/ussr-1917-october-revolution-pin-badge-1.jpg?v=1791722434","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/ussr-1917-october-revolution-pin-badge","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
