Silver & Gold Coin Ping Tester Review!

This is a review of the Pocket Pinger from Sound Money Metals. The Pocket Pinger is a item that was created as an easy and portable way to test Precious Metals such as Silver and Gold Coins and Rounds using the ping test.

Silver & Gold Coin Ping Tester Review!

Tried to make my own. It didn't work consistently. So I ordered one and it was very easy using the link you provided.

This is the second time I have seen a demonstration on one of those. I agree with your assessment about not using the hard plastic to ping the coins. I do think I am going to get one of these. Thanks for sharing.

Don't hold both sticks of the pocket pinger when testing, your hand inadvertently applies pressure, which loosens the hold, and interrupts the natural resonance being generated by "variations of tension" by your squeezing the ends (this absorbs some of the kinetic energy from the strike, which lessens the 'vibrational translation of the shock wave through the metal' [ which is aligned according to it's composition ] ).

Highly pure gold is denser, and has a much tighter alignment of the atomic structure. so, when pinched between opposite sides by non-conductive, non-vibrational surfaces at a tiny point (to minimize friction), the non-conductive striker (in this case, that wooden dowel) creates a cleaner and more long-lasting bell-like ring. The South African Mint once was headed by a musician by education, before he went into metallurgy. He knew this, and worked with designers to "balance the distribution" of weight and pattern surface area to maximize this phenomenon. Ergo, South African Kugerands are almost like chimes in just how clear and clean their tones and harmonics are, within the diminishing pitch of a cymbal-bell, as it's a closed-loop planar surface.

Cymbals and triangles on the other hand make indeterminate pitch, with rapidly diminishing resonance in both frequency and amplitude. Cymbals and triangles have both a break in the loop, and are made of lesser metals. At the elemental level, fake coins (regardless of density) do not have the alignment of atoms that pure silver, gold, platinum, palladium and rhodium have; hence, like the cymbals, they CLANK!

There is a whole discipline within metallurgy which studies thermal and electrical conductivity and vibrational resonance, as these metals are also used in the electronics, scientific and aerospace industries for their special properties, especially these properties in extremes of temperature, pressure and non-reaction to elemental exposure.

Of course, it's a guideline. Nothing beats a good piece of hardware like a Sygma Metalytic tester. But for the average person, the pocket pinger is simple, and doesn't require a learning curve to get accurate and consistent results. So, for the beginner, it's a winner.

Yes I bought same one from Sound Money Metals on Facebook. I use the Pingcoin app. So far so good I do not have any fakes. I like I can do half dollars too.

Excellent review! I bought one and haven't used it. You raised my confidence.

[mikeywc]

Great video, just getting into coins and precious metals. I ordered it from your link. This will help me to not get ripped off if I feel something is a little shady about the seller.

[Stack_Silver]

I always have a pocket pinger and stack stick with me when I go to buy coins... Great tool!

[Mauitaoist]

did he fix the problem with the residue left from the rubber silicone nipple thingies?

[shermankearns]

Great product I will have to get a few of them to certify coins that I can purchase.

[gblargg]

Agreed about the suggested way of ringing the coin by twisting it and letting go. I never used mine like that, instead using a light wooden stick to lightly tap the coin. The pinger is plastic and I don't want to be stressing it or the coin held.

[CoinSniperChris]

I like how it holds the coins with the rubber tips. Would make me feel safer about not dropping the coin lol

[beebob]

Great product. So, I order silver or gold from a reputable dealer. When it arrives at the house I check it. I find a counterfeit coin in the mix and contact the company. They’re not going to believe me anyway. These are good if I go into a shop and do this before buying.

[auntiefiat]

You will appreciate the pocket pinger even more when you get old. I find it much easier than trying to balance coins on my finger!

[jimthompson]

Fascinating! Thanks for the information Seeker! And a Happy Independence Day to you and your family! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[Sirdoming]

Merci pour tes vidéos...
I think the deviation in the measure is due to the coin not being exactly centered...

[jonahshore]

I wonder if you could easily add a piece of felt to the plastic the coin strikes? I have seen felt that comes with peel and stick adhesive with the purpose of sticking to the bottom of figurines to not damage the surface they stand on. I wonder if the device would still work as intended with felt covering the striking mechanism?

[tigeroll]

I think just 12 minutes of pinging coins over and over with No human voice would be better at portraying the good value this device brings to stackers.

[richardmetcalf]

I've seen it on other videos. Best review I've seen.

[enivr]

10:59 Sound like before 24k, about 22k. ;D That with silver, right? Does you can open that tool, like if you doing something bigger, then coin?

[diandrajerram]

I'd like to buy one kit now for my bf's birthday but how long will it be delivered
