Sorry, but the probability of finding genuine fatman dollars at a flea market is very, very low, compared to the probability of finding fakes, which until recently were being shipped into the country by the shipping-container-load. It is certain that these are fakes, and extremely unlikely that they will be made of silver. Whatever "test" you are using for silver, it's giving a false positive with these coins.

It's typical of many fakes. They often have that "dirty ash" look around the edges and devices, but less in the fields.
Maybe wiped off on the high points as well.
