Tungsten Fake Gold Coin - Ping Test

Tungsten Plated Gold Coins exist.

The fake in this video was sold to a Coin Shop near me in a bulk deal.

Unsuspecting pros can get tricked also.

People have reported old style maples having very little to no ping.

They’re rare, but they exist.

If you have a no ping Maple, I highly suggest adding in some other tests.

An N52 rare earth magnet would be a great place to start.

A magnet slides down with an attractive force on Tungsten.

A magnet slides down pure Gold similar to how it does down Silver.

It does take some experience to see/feel the difference.

If you’re not sure, tungsten will also fail a sigma test every time.

I have read that tungsten fakes can pass the X-ray tests with a thick enough plating.

In my opinion, if it doesn’t ping, there’s something wrong with it.

But Gold is Gold, the choice is yours.

Always use multiple testing methods.

Disclaimer: All the risks associated with pinching a coin in between your fingers and tapping it are present when using the device. The ping test is used for alloy identification. Always compare the sound of a potential counterfeit with the sound of a known authentic or trusted data base. Any difference in sound is a strong indication that further testing is needed. Always use multiple testing methods.

precious metals always have a pleasant sound

[vaishnavidubey]

This property of metal is known as sonority

[allanwheeler]

The scary part is the real one weighs exactly the same as the fakes. So without this little sound check tool you'll get ripped off on a daily..

[AdamChernowsky]

I can literally hear silver coins in people's pockets when they're walking. Or when a cashier throws it in the drawer. It's such a distinctive sound,

He took “my money don’t jingle jingle, it folds…” to literally

[medboner]

[jimthompson]

That fake sounded so fake!!! Just used my Pinger on a roll of Aztec silver rounds using the coinping app...all rang true! Pocket Pinger to the rescue! Everybody who stacks should be using one! Thanks so much!

"lemme just test this"
*flicks the coin up and catches it in the air*
"your coin didn't go 30 inches up that's fake"
"HOW TH-"

[hangsthemighty]

I am brand new to stacking but I am happy with how easy to use this is, I just got myself one as well.

[MarkDaynes]

Just flick your coin up just like heads or tails and you'll hear the silver ping in the air if its real..simples

[CaptainROC-hsyn]

My science teacher used to describe this to me. I was not able to hear this until my first gold coin so thank you for putting this up on YouTube so children all over the world can hear it.

[itz_eazy_e]

What a good service you are!! Awesome content btw!!

[MWinters]

Notice the fake has no radial lines or micro laser engraving for the year within the smaller mini maple which is missing altogether.

[devilslove]

There is an Unique shine in the Gold hope you noticed it.

[danielash]

Placement of a microphone on the pincher is cool sounds ringing and it also tells the thickness of the coins consider the possibility BRAVO

[Otaku_VR_]

Really did "thwack thwack" 💀

[Jason-zply]

You will never hear a US Gold Eagle ring for so long as you do using one of the SoundMoneyMetals coin holders. Combined with 1 of many "ping" test apps on a smartphone becomes a great tool addition for checking for fakes.

[KilerMansters]

in medieval it was similar to see if coins are fake or not xD
they made sounds different
