- Just because a coin/bar sounds pleasant to the ears doesn’t mean it’s real!
Always use multiple testing methods.
Weight, dimensions, magnet, ping.
Minimum.
If you cant find the official dimensions, official weight, the item is too bulky to ping, or too it’s small to trust a magnet - Check out Specific Gravity.
The more tests the better.

Happy hunting.
Test your stack.
I’m even more confused now
The fake 1 oz silver bars will always have a higher pitch to them. The key is having both a fake and a legit one to compare the tones with......one after the other. After a short amount of time comparing the fake bar to the real ones.....the tones will be very distinguishable.
Like anything else, it comes down to practice. You'll get the hang of it, no problem.
Clean your ears
@@Evom777 thanks for the advice
i just bought me 2 pocket pingers thanks dude for the advice new silver stacker and i think these will come in handy when i see good deals on the road i only been buying online from highly reputable bullion dealers like jm bullion sd bullion and apmex i been doing sound test with out the pingers they sound about right i love my silver stash
Hey, awesome! Yeah, always best to buy reputable when you can. The road deals are the best deals though! Small town pawn shops can be a fun and fruitful experience. If anything ever comes up let me know, here to help
The professionals were scammed by sound.
Honestly…each one sounds different. Not good consistency. I think your pinger is a useful low-dollar tool, but only in conjunction with the app that can actually measure the wavelengths for correctness. Doing this by ear is still largely guesswork. The problem with the app, though, is that they want you to subscribe. I do not stack silver so that I can constantly bleed money from my wallet every month renting this app. An app should be sold for a ONE TIME FIXED PRICE - PERIOD. I have always resisted the “subscription model” because it will break you financially. Only an idiot allows someone to essentially insert a digital straw into their wallet so that they can suck money out of your account FOREVER. It’s like you never own a damn thing. Screw that. You need to find a developer to make you your own propriety app to go with your picker pinger. Just increase your price a little bit to cover the cost of developing the app and fixing bugs. You’ll sell a hell of a lot more of these pingers if you do that. To hell with those Chinese app developers. They are TOO GREEDY. 😡
Really great advice! I've always been uncertain about bars so I don't have any one ounce bars. I guess there's always going to be someone who will try to cheat on anything!
Yes, and bars are a little tough because of all the variety! Similar to rounds it took about 7 different bars to start and hear a trend in them
Real silver sounds more like a diiing and that sounded like dooong
Ding Dong 😂😂😂😂🤷🏻♂️❤️
It is great, but nice to know what is exactly metal too. It is awesome how the sound of fake and what is made of.
Lol I need to do more pinging with my ping tester, it's a great tool to have in my arsenal. I hate that they make fakes
Super cool! Yeah, “practice makes improvement!” If anything ever comes up let me know
Great video. I have such difficult time with my ping tester.
Hey, did you by chance see the 3 minute training video or the 30 minute? What difficult time are you having?
@@SoundMoneyMetals Don't know if I'm holding too tight or not tight enough. Precise striking and I haven't mastered reading the ping on the app. Not big selection for certain unique coins and rounds in Bullion test and Ping coin. I'm a mess with it ! Lol 😠
Hold it flat when you ping it. Also thickness will change the sound. Strong magnets would have probably revealed them as fakes. For a LCS to be fooled is amazing. How many did he sell to his customers?
Fake one sounded more like a gold coin tbh.
Definitely different for sure
Great video
Awesome! Thank you and thanks for watching!
The fake one sounds kinda like a peace dollar.
What was it made of? Was it plated with actual silver? Im curious as to what other metals could pass as silver. Especially considering how light silver feels.
I’m not exactly sure what’s it’s made of. It’s likely Silver Plated and has had a Copperish color core. If I can remember I’ll take it to an XRF machine and try to get a material breakdown. I’ve heard lead is used to fill Silver bars because of the similar density. Hope this helps! Anything else let me know
@@SoundMoneyMetals
Helps for sure. I appreciate your response.
Coin shop owners know their stuff and will closley inspect even a small purchase of 90%, and are on high alert with generic bars or rounds.
So your story really caught my interest. The counterfieter must have done a really good job to get 100oz past 2 seperate dealers.
Knowing how they did it would give us things to look for or test.
@@ronfox5519 cool, yeah all I know is that she was a girl and that it was awhile ago! Great question, I’ll definitely ask them more about the story. That would be good info
@@SoundMoneyMetals
Yup. Thanks a bunch for the response.
@@ronfox5519 Cool, if I get the material break down or follow up story I’ll make a video!
What you should be testing is a 40% or a 50% against a . 999
I cannot hear it.
The good one sounds like copper
What I was thinking
So the Ampex is fake?
The APMEX bar here is real, if you can, try to also listen for the initial pop of sound that the bar makes and compare that with the others.
I think that you have your facts mixed up. A dull and barely distinguishable tone.
Where as a true silver will give a long resonance.
I’m not a professional but I’m pretty sure that is how it goes.
I’ve dealt with racks and real ones in a side by side and the result was just as I described above.
