Sap Moderator Australia 16874 Posts	Posted 06/18/2018 5:48 pm I would check it with a magnet. A hundred-year-old genuine Chinese silver dollar isn't going to be just lying around outside, whatever country you live in. But a fake one just might be. This one is covered in brown spots that make me think it's made of steel, not silver.

This one is covered in brown spots that make me think it's made of steel, not silver. I agree. Try a magnet or one of the many silver tests (search youtube for 'silver coin test') The details are rather crude. And if a coin is rare, scarce or valuable, the Chinese make forgeries/copies/replica's. https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/chi...ring-4071202 Report this Post to the Staff
