I recently acquired these three 20 cent (2 jiao) Silver FatMan coins. I know the dollar coins are often faked and these occasionally are as well. I would appreciate any input from folks who know more about the type as to their authenticity. The are not magnetic, ring like silver and have a nice patina in hand consistent with silver coins of that era. Thanks in advance for any input!
These coins were struck in .700 fine silver, and should weigh in the neighborhood of 5.40 grams, so you should check out the weight of your coin. I don't have any background collecting these minor denominations. The "fat man" dollars were struck in enormous qualities over many years. As noted, fakes abound.
