What is the story about a Russian hoard? I know the Moscow museum has tons of Iron Crosses.
Thanks

Here's a post that sheds some light on the story.

Very nice, my compliments, and I actually tried to buy it yesterday from the dealer as it turned out he sold it months ago. I don't understand why people advertise items they no longer posses.

I too am looking for one of these minty "Russian hoard" crosses. I came across a couple of "minty" ones for a thousand dollars. One had mold, the other had rust coming out from under the black paint, others had wear already from handling.

I am a newb to medals but common sense is to use gloves when handling such items in mint state. Crosses are not my area of expertise, SS helmets are, and I still use gloves when handling helmets that were made to take a beating.

By the way, how many of these "Russian hoard" crosses were found? Any idea?

Here are some additional shots of my set. These were taken by the seller. I figured I might as well post these to this thread for posterity.

If you ever get tired of that cross, let me know. It's in perfect condition!

Yes, there are indeed more of these mint Russian hoard sets to be found out there. But only a handful or two of these are actually in what I would consider "perfect" condition, as far as I have seen anyway.

Here's another example I came across.

I have 3 examples but none of them come close to this example, Very Nice Stunning Cross, a keeper for sure

I was just messing around with my phone and I took these shots of my cross using only sunlight. Think they actually turned out quite well. What do you guys think?
