Silver made forgeries target a somewhat higher price range coins, usually starting from $300 USD. There is a lot of silver made fake Chihli 1908 dollars, 1911 imperial dollars, or Hupeh dollars, for example.

Good work. Such info is importance in the interest of collectors and because there is a huge fake and forgery production in China. The positioning of L. Giorgi is not eactly the same and in the genuine coins, it is in fact very small compared to fakes. The “R” in GIORGI in the two coins is visibly different, it being more well formed in the fake. Also it is a little further away from the shoulder in the genuine coins. If you send the fakes for analysis, the silver content is totally off. Some are have negligible silver! One more pertinent point is that on the left shoulder where the chip curves upwards, the is a curve in the genuine coin whereas in the fake it is a straight line.
