chinese cash coins

ok, I recently went to an auction, and I purchased some chinese cash coins - silver. Of course, I didn't get the chance to weigh them before I purchased (apparently, unlike others). After I bought them, a local dealer told me he had weighed a couple and discovered they were not real (like most you will find)... which I thought was sort of an unfair advantage. - anyway,

Should I have known better, and how do I go about making sure that none of them are real?

If they are all fakes, are they pretty much just worth the silver value (in which case, I'm out a couple hundred bucks). I thought it was worth the risk when I was bidding, I guess.
