Pingcoin - Coin Ping Test

Worried your gold or silver coin might be fake? Counterfeit coins fool even experienced dealers — but they can't fake the sound.

HOW THE PING TEST WORKS

Genuine coins produce characteristic resonance frequencies based on their metal composition, size, density, and stiffness. Gold rings differently than tungsten. Silver rings differently than copper-nickel. Pingcoin analyzes these frequencies and compares them against verified reference values.

If the frequencies match — your coin is almost certainly genuine. If they don't — you may have a fake.

TRANSPARENT RESULTS

Unlike other apps, Pingcoin shows you the resonance tolerance for each coin. You see your coin's measured frequencies, the expected range, and exactly how close the match is. No black box — just clear, visual verification you can trust.

WHY TRUST THE PING TEST?

The ping test has been used by coin dealers for over a century. Pingcoin brings scientific precision to this traditional method using FFT frequency analysis — the same technology used in music apps and audio engineering.

Pro tip: Combine the ping test with weight and visual inspection for maximum confidence.
