Hi. Don't know much about soviet medals and I just wonder what kind of medals these are? Are they valuable,rare or common medals?

The star is the Order of the Red Star, fairly low serial number. I don't have any reference books where I am now, but I would guess a 1944 issue.

The medal that has crossed sword and rifle is the medal for battle merit. The serial number, if original, is quite early. Over 3 million were issued.

The medal with Lenin and Stalin is the medal for the 30th anniversary of the Soviet armed forces, issued 1948.

If you are looking to sell them, you can send me a PM.

Okey, thanks for the info lawnmover!

So the medals aren't rare, but how much does these medals cost on the market today?

As with all goods of trade, it depends on the market where you try to sell them. I guess a rough guideline would be 50-100 USD for the Red Star, 15-50 USD for the Battle merit medal and 10 USD for the Anniversary medal.
