Reasonably nice Greek ancients. The lot shown here can be bought relatively easily for around 75% of the price shown here.
I would nevertheless check their authenticity, despite the certificate. They are a lot of extremely good forgeries of ancient Greek silver coins, and are sold to customers who know little about them. Go to a professional ancient coin dealer who knows his stuff.
They paid a bit too much but now they have been bought, may as well keep. Depends how interested you are in ancient Greek coins.
I guess if they went into an up market jewelry shop and bought solid sterling silver tableware, the profit margin would be much larger and the customer would still be satisfied.
