Yes all are fake. I'm sorry. As others have stated Chinese silver coins are some of the most faked coins in the world. If you don't know how to determine between them don't buy unless graded by the top three and check the certificates and slabs are being faked at times too. These are poor quality fakes. Many new ones are silver and high quality.

| Very interesting. I notice on a few coins that there are minor variations like your not listed in wildwinds and other places even the RIC. mostly its dots stars, placements of hands (up down) and weapons leaning or straight up. |
