Hi! What mint is the all proof surface round from?

[@RkicF8]

@@jmsparger4339 Thats what I was thinking, never seen any of them thought they were all fake.

[@agentk4332]

When I was young, the tills had a slab of marble on them. The cashier could drop the money on the slab and if it did not ring, it was fake silver, no sale.

[@DIYMETALS]

That’s awsome!

[@ambhatti1538]

Beat me to it! That sound was my first thought on "testing" a coin.

[@Argentum4761]

As someone whos recently gotten into stacking im often paranoid that my coins and rounds are fake and never buy online; gonna use this app to test out my maples

[@Anthony-kn8cn]

Terrible that the Chinese are making fake rounds now with Monument Metals mint Mark's or MM. This fake stuff has to stop.

[@DIYMETALS]

It’s wild, they’re faking everything. 1oz gold bars with the packaging, US mint coins, you name it.

[@Anthony-kn8cn]

@@DIYMETALS Agree 💯 and it's definitely something everyone needs to make others aware of.

A slightly better chance exists that the US government commits to sound money principles

[@lazyboylarry4345]

You should have shown the coin after you shot it so we could see inside and check out which metal they used.

[@DIYMETALS]

I was planning on.... couldn't find the thing. Wound up finding it a week or so later gardening... lol

You can polish up aluminum to look like silver

You can, but it’s won’t weigh nearly the same, and won’t ping the same.

[@wynko11]

Not to mention the tint of silver, which is dark gray, at least when it has been allowed to corrode on it's surface, looking at old silverware which has been left in the open, you can often see it's, or it has features almost black in color. "Sometimes these are plated silver" is very correct - why you might not want to trust your eyes only.

To a typical person on a stand alone piece it is impossible to determine whether the coin is of real silver or not. However, if given a multiple choice to compare pieces, then there is chance that a choice can be made to decide whether a piece is fake or real.

[@shanshansenlightment4985]

Interesting but my ears with the pocket pinger is good..

[@flipnap2112]

just a heads up, my pinger app (iPhone) is saying I need a subscription for the full array of coins. kinda sucky but I already bought the pinger. ive got a sigma so no big deal, I just despise subscriptions. Also unless I missed it, the neodymium magnet test is a good one.

[@jeffshambaugh2340]

Does it work with gold?

[@curtmayer1070]

I wish you had cut the duff coin in half with a hacksaw so we could see that shady layering inside.

[@DIYMETALS]

It’s gunna happen soon, stay tuned.

[@LlamaKingGaming]

It's numismatic, not numeristic

[@orlandoecoadventures6780]

What about bars, 1oz to 1 kilo?

[@derekeano]

Should always start with a magnet. Takes a second and you don't even need to take it out of plastic.

[@moreorless1544]

Respect to the killer of the fake round

[@rphb5870]

you don't need a pinger you can just balance a coin on your finger and tap it with another coin

[@JefFreeRothermel]

What did you use to deform that fake round at the end? BB?

[@DIYMETALS]

.22 pcp air rifle

[@user-tr4uc5vr8o]

Would a rare earth magnet help sort out fake silver

[@GamingwithGamerGirls]

I could tell instantly which one was fake. Look at the mouth and nose area. Easy Peasy.

[@DIYMETALS]

None of the rounds have a standard stamp, each companies will look different and there are dozens of companies that make them.

First thing I do is test with magnet

wheres the magnet test?

Plenty of fakes are made with non-magnetic material. While magnet will prove something is fake if it sticks, it doesn’t prove it’s real I’d it doesn’t.

God is for everyone on the planet. It doesn’t matter if you’re religious or atheist or just don’t give a crap about any of it either way. Whether you like it or not, the moment you die, you WILL instantly be in this place that you have been a part of for eons. Doesn’t matter your religion, your beliefs or anything. Everyone from every part of this planet comes from the SAME place. This is a FACT and you will be there like it or not. No matter what kind of person you are, good or evil or somewhere in between. You can’t escape it, you ARE a being of light in this meat suit, we call a human body. Some things are true, whether we like it or not. When you cross over after death, all the knowledge of the universe will come flooding back into you, reminding you who you really are. I know this sounds like a complete fairy tale that someone made up to trick and play games with you, but it really isn’t, I promise you, for what it’s worth. It’s 100% Fact, not fictitious. YOU WILL SEE MY FRIEND. 🌸🙏 GOD BLESS TO ALL
