Real Or Fake Lot

Steer clear of the whole lot--imo.
No doubt, you also noticed the two Rhodes coins (Helios obv, flower reverse)--they are exact matches, even the flans.
If real, those two would sell for $400+ a piece easy--and never part of a lot.

Thanks and I think both of you are correct. Except I don't think they would even make good cuff links (and I still wear them). As of this moment, the lot is selling for $11 and not worth that either. Maybe $5. Maybe.

That right there sets off all kinds of warnings in my head which I couldn't ignore. From the presence of a mediaeval Armenian coin in the mix, we can assume we're probably talking about Syria or Turkey as the origin. You can't just go to these countries, or anywhere else in the Middle East for that matter, and buy (or find) ancient coins in the street; it's illegal. The probability of you as a tourist just happening to encounter a genuine coin smuggler trying to offload their loot is zero. However, "tourist copies" of ancient coins are in abundance, and perfectly legal. If this seller is telling the truth, I'd be skeptical about the authenticity of all of them, not just the obvious fakes.
