First off, none of them are "ancient". The seller is French and the French word "ancien" means simply "old", so I suspect this is where the confusion has arisen. Most of the coins aren't even particularly old, from a world coin collector perspective. The seller using the word "ancient" and mis-spelling the word "lot" tells me English is not a language they are fluent with. I usually recommend avoiding such sellers, unless you happen to be fluent in their language, as communication difficulties can escalate a minor dispute into a major one very easily.
But in this case, the seller is technically correct, in that they are all silver coins. Some of them don't have a lot of silver - the British one is only .500 fine, for example - but silver they are.
