I wouldn't even want to touch that with my bare hands. Might be laced with nasty metals.

Based on my research ( Amazon Books : Forgotten Coins - 25th Anniversary) on the chapter of Modern Chinese forgeries) Chinese 20th-21stC fakes are normally composed of Fe/Ni or German Silver (Cu/Zn/Ni) alloys with very few being debased silver. I see your point gxseries in terms of numismatic value but these metals are not radioactive but sometimes I wish they were to stop their production in China.

Certainly they get kudos for the very creative English spelling.

I have an album full of fake taels- but not this one.
I'll look to see if I can get one someplace.

I guess the spelling ads to the flavour. Not uncommon on chinese coins

I pay one / two bucks or less for fakes from my sources.
I've tried to buy fakes from online sellers but they don't reply or they are stuck on trying to fool the public.
