Ingrid Klinger (78) from Cologne could not have guessed that with her heirloom - a tray made of real silver *, into which a coin is incorporated - she was making a novelty at "Bares for Rares".

Cash for Rares: What is the gold coin in a silver tray worth?
A second expert is supposed to help: art historian Heide Rezepa-Zabel. She helps herself with the magnifying glass. Her opinion: "The coin image is very precise. You can only mint it with a coin tool, that is, with hardened steel. So it is a real coin."
Detlev Kümmel agrees. It is a real ten-corona coin from Hungary , he says - with three grams of fine gold. The only question is what she is looking for on the tray.
The story behind it: The tray made of real sterling silver was manufactured by the Wilkens company in Bremen in the 1950s. The inserted coin was probably part of a gift that picked up on a "fashion trend": it was fashionable at the time to wear coins as jewelry.
