Description

The listing, 100 year old Silver Coptic Cross 1 of 2 has ended.

These crosses are very heavy for their size, so I doubt that they are pure silver as I had thought once upon a time, but they are very nice and have some intricate detail to them.
I even tried to bend one, and it didn't even flex. There is no metal stamp on them either.
Plus, the only reason I say they are 100 years old is because they were bought at an antiques shoppe long ago, so I can't tell you any more than what we were told. I can't even give you a history lecture..I feel like such a failure on this auction.

Questions & Comments

Is this auction for both crosses? how big is it i have a cross wall and it will be perfect for it

This is for one of the crosses. The pics above are the front and back. The other cross is listed seperately.
This one measures 3.25 inches in length by 2.25 inches ac-cross and about the thickness of a United States Quarter.

Do you remember where in Egypt you made this purchase and how much you paid back then?

Jun 7th, 2011 at 12:47:28 PM PDT by

Thankyou ever so much! I sooo hope to win thiese! They are so unique! Thanks for the great auction! God Bless!

Jun 7th, 2011 at 12:47:20 PM PDT by

OMG! I like this cross and really,really want to thankyou for the oppurtuniy to have it! The drama that goes with it is exciting too! Have a blessed day! Thanks!

Thank you. Oh, and p.s. My aunt gave me one of your angel stained glass picture frames from your store. It's beautiful.

Jun 7th, 2011 at 12:08:37 PM PDT by

Well, that makes me mad. I was bidding on that other cross. I am glad you're back though. Seems like they like to pick on you. Are you going to re-list the other cross now? Let me know.

Jun 6th, 2011 at 4:52:49 PM PDT by

Okay. it's back up, but the quickest I could do was 3 days.
But now I lost my fire next to the title.

Jun 6th, 2011 at 5:05:22 PM PDT by

Aww, Listia said they were sorry and gave me a free Premium and Bold listing to relist the other cross.
OK, I'm back, lol.
Sorry for the anger ladies and gentlemen.

Jun 6th, 2011 at 4:39:25 PM PDT by

Now I'm angry. Look at my grammar up there. That's the kind of English you would expect from the moderators around here.

Jun 6th, 2011 at 3:56:21 PM PDT by

Unreal.....you give more info than everyone else combined!!! I am still new here and have already found out about the scammers....still waiting on over 4000 credits from 1st auction I bid on and won and now the person is "out of the country"....LOL! Sp sorry to see you go...just love your items!

Jun 6th, 2011 at 3:55:25 PM PDT by

I and four other users flagged two scammers a week ago, and they're still listing. Is Listia getting kickbacks from them or what?
Then there's a guy listing Dr. Pepper game codes, but want's $10.00 to email them. He's still listing after over a week.

Jun 6th, 2011 at 4:01:56 PM PDT by

What happened to the other Cross you had listed???

Jun 6th, 2011 at 3:26:31 PM PDT by

Listia, in there retarded wisdom, deleted it for "not enough information".
The last thing any of my auctions are, are "not enough information".
So, I told them to delete the other eight auctions, and I will list on eBay.
they keep the scammer auctions up, and bottle caps with $10.00 shipping though.
Sorry everyone, I'm done.

Jun 6th, 2011 at 11:43:00 AM PDT by

Go ahead and bid; you know you want to..

Jun 6th, 2011 at 12:30:26 PM PDT by

fanned watching and prob gonna bid

Jun 6th, 2011 at 11:41:34 AM PDT by

Thank you. Fanned back.

Jun 6th, 2011 at 12:30:42 PM PDT by

Russian??? That's odd when I looked up Coptic crosses it mentioned Ethiopia and they looked like this style... Now I'm confused...

Jun 6th, 2011 at 1:05:00 AM PDT by

I got it in Egypt, so it's propably not Russian. On ethnictreasures website, they show it being Ethiopian too, but I'm guessing.

Jun 6th, 2011 at 6:12:34 AM PDT by

Sorry just noticed the dimentions

very cool crosses man.

May 31st, 2011 at 3:25:34 PM PDT by

Thank you. I hope someone can pry them out of my life, once and for all.

Dimensions: 3.25" Long by 2.25" Wide

Wonderful Antique Russian cross you have there...and you say you have two? AWESOME! I have a friend that collects cross. I forwarded him a picture of yours and he said it looks late 18th to early 19th century. You are right about the metal makeup as it is about 90% pure or as most newer vintage Russina stamps would say (94)... Good luck and I am watching for him...lol.

Jun 3rd, 2011 at 8:10:23 PM PDT by

Thank you. They've been collecting dust, and I wasnt sure what they are. Thank you for your input.

Jun 4th, 2011 at 8:08:03 AM PDT by

Sweet!! I fanned you because I have a thing for vamps and shifters...lol

Jun 2nd, 2011 at 5:18:25 PM PDT by

Just wait an hour, I may shift again, I'm a rapid cyle shifter, lol.

Jun 2nd, 2011 at 6:21:51 PM PDT by

This is like way cool...I'm sooo watching this!!! I have just the perfect
silver chain for it!!!

Jun 2nd, 2011 at 4:27:39 PM PDT by

Thank you. Good luck on the bids.
I have to fan you because Tigger was my childhood hero.

Jun 2nd, 2011 at 4:53:57 PM PDT by

Ok, I like the bidding right where it is. 333 is the number of God.

Jun 2nd, 2011 at 1:26:10 PM PDT by

SWEET!!!

Jun 2nd, 2011 at 12:54:05 PM PDT by

Thank you.

------------------------^ That's just a joke. When I send a coin, it's non radioactive and pee free.

Jun 1st, 2011 at 11:44:25 PM PDT by

Be sure to let us know how the Uranium works, you are the first Listian to be such a creative thinker=o} Guess i have to fan U so I can see what happens next!

Jun 1st, 2011 at 7:11:02 PM PDT by

That's how I clean all my coins. I take them to work and dip them in the depleted Uranium waste tanks. It makes them shiny, then I let my horse pee on it for a few days and it gives it a nice patina.

Jun 1st, 2011 at 7:49:21 PM PDT by

very nice, thanks for sharing

Jun 1st, 2011 at 7:27:34 AM PDT by

Thank you, and you're welcome.

Jun 2nd, 2011 at 7:17:04 PM PDT by

very nice. Will be watching and probably bidding.

Jun 1st, 2011 at 6:57:46 AM PDT by

Thank you. Good luck.

Jun 2nd, 2011 at 7:19:14 PM PDT by

The mystery has been solved. The metal is coin silver. 90% solid silver and 10% hardened alloy.
I'll be back in 12 hours to answer questions.

May 31st, 2011 at 11:22:49 PM PDT by

I still don't know what these are. A Listier commented on the other one that its a silver/nickel compound 60% silver 40% nickel, so they are being listed as mystery meat. I don't guarantee the amount of silver.
So don't bid high thinking these are pure silver. I have no clue what these are other than old.
If anyone would like, I can take them to the Nuclear facility with me tomorrow and dip them in wasted Uranium, just let me know.

Jun 1st, 2011 at 1:32:29 PM PDT by

I think very awesome and there's a mystery to be solved with it:-) I'm happy you put them up for auction!

May 31st, 2011 at 6:19:50 PM PDT by

I hope they bring magic to someone, but they won't perform for a vampyre, even a Christian vampyre, lol.
Happy bidding.
