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!
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.
This was a great walk through. Thanks, Silver Seeker!
Can anyone recommend a pingcoin alternative for iphone ?
Hi Barra, I just looked up the same thing for IPhone and found one called
Precious coin tester in the App Store. Hope this helps.
That’s what I’m looking for?
I don't see any reference to a Ping test for the iPhone. Name of Apple App?
I use my magnets. Then I ping. Finally I weigh. Has not failed me.
The magnet and the weight will tell you for sure. The ping is just the final straw. It's great that you know to do all three.
@@cajunstacker1376 yes, he is a smart man...Perfect choices....
Agreed, I got a rare earth magnet and that is my first go to.
@@davidarmstrong7628 smart man? I was not rude to you. No need to be insulting because I'm not exactly what you think I should be. Do reply to things if you are going to be negative to another person. I'm doing what I can to help others. FJB
@@tgurlamber5874 I have no idea why you think I was being rude....Perplexing that my opinion of using all 3 tests is a good thing, then somehow I am rude to you??? I am not sure what you are referring to???
Which app do y’all use for an iPhone?
I'm looking at the app store with no luck. What apps will do this one an iPhone?
Seeker! is a great guy, He does this all for us. So we dont get ripped off. I really would love a Sat. night coin roll hunt
What’s the apps for iPhone thanks
I don’t see ping coin in the App Store for iOS?
Nailed it bro.🙏🏽👍🏾
Accidentally sold some fake prospectors using the app since they don't really have everything uploaded and it pinged properly on a 1 oz morgan dollar. remembering the way silver sounds is important.
Never had a way to thoroughly check my silver thanks for the video and knowledge
WOW! Thank you Silver Seeker! I very much appreciate this! I knew a lot about the testing of real Silver, however this video of yours was VERY informative and educational. Keep up the great work. Two thumbs up.
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.
I needed to see this video. Thank You Sir.
I made a mistake getting an iPhone, that android app looks much nicer than the iPhone equivalent lol
Do you know the name of iPhone equivalent app?
Great info as always. It’s so easy to do these. And so little can save you so much! Thanks for the info.
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.
Only buying from reputable dealers helps too!! Thanx for the info SS!!
Ya…Selma Pro cost $1,699 or Basic is $849.
Can you recommend another app for testing? Both apps you recommended aren't available for my version of Android, both were made for an older version.
Awesome video on the counterfeit The Fakes love it thank you I learned so much from this video with Fakes and real silver Seeker you're the man thank you again man God bless
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…
Did anyone find bullion test and an apple phone app? If yes, please list below the name I can’t find it.
Can that ping test app detect fake 1oz silver plated copper coins?
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.
The more of these testing vids I see the less I want to invest in these metals.
Simply buy from reputable dealers or your local coin store and you won’t get burned.
Knowledge is everything in this game
Great Presentation!! Very Useful! Thank you!
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!
iOS ping test apps? Suggestions please
Does that testing system come with that tablet being I don't have a cell phone also there is no link to check it out I don't see the pocket thing link either I don't think I need that expensive thing, but worried I got morgans off ebay but think the big morgan dealer don't know seems best just to buy from someone you trust
tested a .999 round on both apps passed, tested 3, 1/2dollar a ken,Frank, and walker on both apps , and passed, how in the heck i didnt know about these apps, always relied on my sigma original
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this Info
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
I was very disappointed I bought a pocket Pinger. It worked great with the app that came with it. I haven’t used it in quite a few months. I went to buy some silver the other day and went to use it and they started charging for the app now. If I didn’t know they were going to Start charging I would’ve never bought the pocket Pinger. I couldnt hear the difference in the ASE’s.
😅what is the name of the app?
How about testing 1 kilo bars etc?
Another great, informational video, Silver Seeker!
Is it possible to get fake silver from SD bullion? I feel pretty safe buying from them??
No not possible and yes they are one of the big boys of Au Ag
Very cool equipment. It's scary for new stackers who do not know how to test. Did buy a pinger tester thing recently after watching some of your other vids.
I have a piece of sheet metal. It's fairly small at 6"x9". I'm positive it is silver. What I want is to determine the purity to see if it's even worth taking 45 min to take it somewhere
Why are my eagles testing results always indicating "Unclear" and only up to one out the three bars?
What are the names of iPhone apps to test silver pinging sound?
Precious Coin Tester for iphone.
Totally unrelated to the content of this video, but are the gloves you wear in your videos made of nitrile? I’m looking for an alternative to cotton gloves for handling bullion. Thanks in advance for the info!
Great video. One thing to note, it's Resonant Frequency not Resonance Frequency.
Purchased the tester, so thanks for the tip.
Too complicated. Just use my Sigma, pinger, and magnet.
10:00 Does the copper round actually MEASURE as 1 Ozt , or does it just appear like a 1 ounce coin?
Great info. I got the Pingcoin app and tested some buffalos... all good thankfully.
I look forward to testing the rest, hopefully with the same results.
New sub.
Someone sells me fake, ill go to their place of business and talk peacefully. If they want to get hospitalized over it. That's on them.
If that expensive device is just testing the electrical resistance, why can't one just use a regulator volt/ohm-meter to test the electrical resistance through the coins? The resistance of silver and other metals should be available. One needs to measure thickness or size depending on how one wants to measure resistance. From edge to edge should give a more accurate reading.
Great video. I learned a lot.
Very cool...ty for all you do...
Great video Silver Seeker. Very informative as always.
Great video. That Sigma is pretty awesome
Yeah the ping test was good. But it was better before they started to charge for the app.
Should we always test if we only buy from SB Bullion or our local coin shop?
I always do online. My LCS are always stupid high on premiums.
Won't the nail you're "pinging" with, knick the surface and then affect the value?
Not using a nail, using a soft wooden stick or a soft plastic bic pen. I won't say that it can't happen, anything is possible... but I've never damaged a coin doing this.
Nice video. You can still get a certain amount of silver ping sound from a silver bar. You can also get a magnet slide which is mutch cheaper than metal detectors.
That's amazing; a resonance tester.
Measure, weigh, magnet, and sound.. has there ever been a counterfeit that passed all four of those tests?
Good tips thanks…did I hear you say your adding that PMV Pro Mini to your treasure box?
It appeared to me that the silver eagle was less than line to line.
Can’t you just take coins into silver dealer and have them check?
Congrats on 100K!!!
Great video and plenty of useful information. My concern, being fairly new to stacking, is where are the fake coins coming from. I would think that reputable dealers would not have any.
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.
I cannot seem to find the testing apps for IPhone, it’s not showing the names he mentioned
I did an updated video showing how to install the ping test on more modern phones.ruclips.net/video/STxXWrHVkcA/видео.html
@@SilverSeeker Thank you so much! And thank you for a great video. I appreciate you very much.👍
Thank you, very informative. Never knew how to test the silver coins
Awesome video i like the mini sigma
All great way’s thanks for sharing
je ferais pas trop confiance a l application si j étais vous 👎 mon oreille est bien meilleur que votre smartphone
Great video
Neither of those apps work or are available!!! How old is this?
Neato info!
Thank you Thank you I am deaf and did not know there were apps for testing bullion!!!!! Subscribing now.
The last round i picked up was one of those don't tread on me rounds
Ok strike it wwith plastic pen got it
Thank you! I asked for this on the last video🙏🙏
I was thinking, couldn’t I use my metal detector to check if it’s silver or zinc? I would say yes since copper and zinc come up differently.
I would love to be able to get a pocket pinger
Fake silver.
The second worst thing to buying real silver! (at today's premiums)🤣
I wore a silver ring in a pool for a week on a 22 mile charity swim. My ring turned black. Apparently that means it's silver. So could pool water be used to test if silver is genuine?
Chlorine tarnishes silver. You can use baking soda or a silver cleaning paste.
@@mountainghoti1671 Silver chloride is white. It is sulfur that is the normal cause of tarnish on silver.
Hello 👋, Just discovered your show this afternoon, I appreciate you're knowledgeable teaching skill set.
My question is. Does that here exist a 1942 NMM pre October 8, 1942 struck on silver?That's supposed to weigh 4.07 gms struck on a silver planchet? I can't find anything on it.
Video release 3 months ago bought my phone last September. Google play says both apps are too old for my android version and cannot find any ping test apps that are valid for my new android phone.
I made this video to show how to load the app on newer devices. Hope that helps:

Just tested the Pingcoin app on my Gold Krugerrand, and it works!
Thanks!
Buy from a reputable source; save the invoice receipts.
Receipts wont get you far sadly... there's no way to prove the fake one came from them and not elsewhere.
11:42 Looks way off the lines to me!
this is one advantage of crytpo....the address is the address....can't fake it
The 'Sigma pro' machine is now $1900. And out of stock!
Do you need gloves to do the ping test?
this is so helpful. excellent!
Can't find bulion test app
Somehow, I'm not able to find either app in my playstore (android) 😭
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.
Prefer a close pin and pencil.
Thank you! Fantastic information!!!
This one is really fake. 😂
For big bars I bought a speed of sound device. 200 bucks.
This has been my go to test. Im wondering, have they been able to make any fakes that pass this test?
Awesome as always.
I have a pinger and magnets. I don't buy from eBay and I don't have a local shop close enough, so all my purchases are from places like SB, JMB, Hero, etc.
