Boron, Emile L. Shop By Price. Precious Moments Identification and Value Guide. Introduction Do you have figurines from the Precious Moments collection that you would like help identifying and valuing? Have you seen one you would like to buy but want more information on its value first? Many of us purchase or collect figurines simply because they appeal to us. They are collected for what they are, not as long term investments. However, as manufacturers retire models and certain pieces become harder to find, the natural market forces will increase their values.

At some point, most of us will wonder how much our collection is worth. This guide will not tell you exactly how much your individual figurine is worth as the actual value will change over time, and on any given day you may be able to buy or sell a particular piece for an amount significantly different from the accepted "market value". Anyone that watches items selling on eBay will be familiar with the phenomenon of identical items selling for different prices only minutes apart.

What this guide will do is to help you understand the identifying characteristics that affect the value of your figurines. Identification Starting with the basic identification information, there are 2 factors that will identify your figurine for valuation purposes: The model number The production year mark The model number The model number is usually one of the following formats: 5, 6 or 7 digit numeric e.

PM or PM 4 digit numeric prefixed with "E" e. E 4 digit numeric prefixed with "C", "B" or "F" e. BC or FC There may be other variations of these formats, but these are the most popular formats used.

PM and C-prefixed pieces are Precious Moments Collector's Club pieces, which are generally issued for just a single year to members of the Collector's Club only. Note that some Collector's Club pieces also have no prefix or an E-prefix. The model number uniquely identifies the model and every figurine should have one.

Smaller models and hanging ornaments may not have a visible model number printed on the item itself, but the original packaging should state the model number. The production year mark The production year mark is a symbol incised into the underside of the base or occasionally in another hidden location on unusually shaped items.

Each symbol is only used during one calendar production year and therefore identifies the year the piece was manufactured.

Note that the year of production, as indicated by this mark, is not the same as the copyright date that may be printed on the piece. The copyright date is an indication of when the model was originally sculpted and will not change as later copies of the model are produced.

A full list of year symbols can be found at www. Valuation Step one of valuation is identification. Once you have the model number and production mark you can check against a price guide for the market value at that point in time.
