About this app

When you get a silver or gold coin with correct weight and size, how can you know it is not a fake coin made of other cheap materials? Traditional ping tests can distinguish true gold or silver coins from counterfeit ones in cheap metal. But you need good ears!

Precious coin tester helps you listen to the sound generated by the ping test and will tell you whether the coin is a cheap metal fake*. So no more worry about the fake gold or silver coin!

You can choose your coin from a catalog including more than 30,000 coins**, where more than 100 of them are free. Nothing found in the catalog? Defining coin's parameters by your own is also another option**!

- How to ping the coin?
Hold the coin on the tip of one finger near the mic of your phone/tablet, and knock the coin briefly with another hard object. Hold still the coin while it rings. When the sound of coin has diminished, knock it again.

- Which results are good?
2~3 stars are considered as good results. Otherwise, you should be cautious.
[New🔥] Spot a 3-star false positive and you may win a $30 reward! Details: https://preciouscointester.com/en/3_star_quest.html

This is a great app! I use it to check all of my silver coins from Morgans to Peace Dollars and Walkers, Franklins, JFKs, 40% Ikes, and silver quarters, dimes, commemoratives, generic rounds, and sovereign silver (Eagles, Maples, etc). I've used it on pre 1933 gold and gold commemoratives, as well. I've tested it with counterfeits and it catches them every time (if they are the improper alloy). I use this tool to supplement other tests such as magnet, weight, and caliper. Highly recommend.

I really like it when used with the POCKET PINGER from Sound Money Metals. It could use a little continuous improvement but still is a very effective tool that SHOULD be used in conjunction with other testing, including weight, magnet, etc.... Thanks

You're paying for a subscription that doesn't have a 2024 American Gold Buffalo. I tested that coin after I selected a 2023 American 1 oz gold buffalo and it said it was authentic. They need to keep the app updated if they're going to charge you for it.
