None of 8 boxes contain Certificate of authentity?
It should have printed technical and artistic validation text in Italian:The Artistic Summary: It provides an educational write-up about the discovery of the Bronzi di Riace (the ancient Greek warriors found in the sea in 1972).The Minting Guarantee: It explicitly states the legal metal composition, certifying that the collection consists of Argento 925/1000 (sterling silver).The Corporate Affiliation: It bears the official print stamps of the manufacturing house FAB CAR S.r.l. Bologna and their promotional partner Intermarmo / Intercine.
Would be strange if all 8 lost?

The collection has remained in the family for years, boxed and untouched.
My father was from Bologna. He got the collection directly from the owner of FAB CAR S.r.l. Bologna, whom he knew personally, and dealt with through his work.

There are no certificates in any of the boxes, but I have no knowledge that there "should be" as you claim, or that there ever were.
What makes you think that there should be?

The collection is certainly authentic and genuine, as can also be seen from examining, feeling, weighing and testing them if you like.
You are welcome to come and take a look at them if you are interested.
Where abouts do you live?

hi, no problem sure they can be genuine without coa I just always look for all info for every collection i am getting, so the info I copy-pasted was about this collection, and just asked you in case you got them or not, no problem, I also have some without certificates and for me personally it does not drop its value just will be hard to sell for other than melt price, and I would not :)

Just have a nother question: are you sure about weight of your bars? if to count silver density per cubic centimetre 5x3x0.3cm piece of sterling silver would weight 47 grams not 125.

@zemaitijospienas: Yes, Apologies, There seems to have been a mistake made in the initial advert, which is now corrected. Thanks.
