wow, I learned A LOT! I've been kinda depressed about all the counterfeit bullion and coins coming out of China. I never knew there was a quick and cheap way to test for fakes. Thank you!

@mariamaria-mq9il 10 ай бұрын

in argentina when banks were closed and they robbed their money, people used to trade with jewry. Coins were less valued than jewry. There are pure .999 jewry now, that dont tarnish and it is hard no soft because they are compressed and arc soldered. Look it up.

As I'm just getting into collecting that is why I love this channel because you go through detailed demonstrations on how to test your coins. Thank you so much for this video I'm starting to like collecting coins more and more but I can only get one a month. Slow going but at least it's going.

I’m learning more over time, and I watch several coin enthusiasts/numismatists channels now, it is teaching me so much more than I knew before. Thanks for all you do! New sub! I had one incident being ripped off by a coin seller so I’ve used magnet and weight tests before. Now I know about the ping test! Awesome…

A very helpful video for everyone. I believe you had a least one previous video on this subject and where I originally found the link for the Ping Tester & Stack Stick. I've been using the coin ping tester and stack stick for a few years now with perfect results. Several apps for sound testing have come and gone in Apple's APP Store, but the Precious Coin Tester APP remains and I use it when I want to confirm what I am hearing, especially in noisier environments like coin shows where a coin may be questionable. This is definitely a video all new coin buyers who should pin and come back to from time to time as they navigate through their coin buying. Well done Silver Seeker!

I love your videos, very informative. I am brand new at coin buying and learning how to find fakes so hopefully I don't wind up with one. I am wondering about this strike test and walking into a coin shop or pawn shop and doing that. Would they be glaring at me or not expect that. Also, thus might require taking coins out of packaging. I'd rather do all of this than wind up with a fake. Just like to hear what to expect when I arrive at my first shop.

Another excellent video, I always learn a little bit more with each one. I love my Pro Mini as well, and for me, it is well worth the money. The more tools you have at your disposal the lesser chance you have at being scammed. No matter the method you use, practice with them. The more familiar you are with the tools, the easier it will be to determine real or fake without any second guessing yourself. This in turn will make it harder for a scammer to try and talk you into the purchase.

Not. All 🥇 and 🥈 is real. This has been going on since Roman times. Back in those days they used to clip the edges of gold and add cheaper metals thereby debasing the original metal making it less valuable...This is what con artists do.😢😢😢

Mainly from china. One such company is called TEMU which offers all kinds of very well made fake silver and gold coins for a few dollars. Don't order anything from them unless you want 20-30 or more scam texts a day. I have never had a serious scam problem until I ordered some cheap Chinese crap from them and now I'm wondering if I should change my number.

Is there a source that provides a chart or formula to determine the "ping" frequency (and perhaps even the decay rate) for pure silver/gold based on diameter and thickness for rounds/coins and Thickness, Width, and Length for rectangular bars For example, I plug-in the diameter and thickness of a .999 silver coin and the output of the chart or formula is the approximate "ping" frequency one should obtain from a quality item (no voids, major defects, etc) I realize there will be some differences depending on cosmetic design differences, whether a round has Reeds or not, but I would think the frequency deviations would be relatively small compared to deviations found by fakes using different metals and false purity claims.

@LuLuLately 9 ай бұрын

Do these ping tests work with bigger bars like 5, 10, 100 ounces? Thanks never mind I didn't finish video. So basically don't buy bars unless you have money to buy an expensive paperweight. Sounds like it's easy to make a fake coin with the proper dimensions.

@alanpecherer5705 Жыл бұрын

Very interesting. Frankly, I don't think you can even consider being in any sort of acquisitive mode with regard to silver or gold without one or the other Sigma machines. There are just too many fakes out there. I don't know the price of this little machine, I assume it's less than the big brother. But the big brother is $1300/$1700 depending on which accessories you buy and if that saves you buying one single bogus ounce of gold, it's a win.

is the fake silver eagle you tested towards the end actually 1ounce exactly? It said 1 ounce on the sigma, but I think that's because that's what the weight was supposed to be. It measured on the width properly so I was just surprised if it was actually exactly 1 ounce and the correct width as well, since it's fake
