Some of them are more like fantasy pieces, so I would pass these no matter what, unless I like to the way it was design, but again I wouldn't pay more than a buck the most.

Has anyone noticed that one of these has "Ta Ching Gold Coin" as the inner legend, so if genuine it would be a $200,000.00 or $2,000,000.00 coin.
And the OP thinks it could be silver?
And the selling price was $5.00?

Think the OP is trolling us.

Look at the amount of replies gotten for obvious fakes and OP's name.

Could be true.
Probably so with such an abundance of fakes.
However, others do see & read.
If the OP would post one coin at a time, with quality pictures, I'd respond with what's right & wrong about each.
Doesn't bother me- I have time.

Added note about Shansi Province: There was a 20 cent piece made during Hsuan Tung about 1909, 10 or 1911. So having Shansi as pictured, as the size of a dollar coin is also an indicator of being fake.

I see what looks to be a Japanese Yen about 1894. I'm familiar with these as I have several.
None contain elemental silver, so if the OP thinks it's genuine because it passed the slide test, maybe a collector or dealer would buy his $5.00 coin for about $20.00 or $30.00
