Which Sigma Metalytics PMV is Best for YOU? Original vs. Pro Mini, vs. Pro

In this video I show off all 3 Sigma Metalytics models (Original PMV, Pro PMV, and Pro Mini) and talk about which is the best! The PMV Original or the sigma metalytics original model is able to test your gold and silver coins to determine if they are real or fake. The PMV Pro or the sigma metalytics pro model has the ability to test all the way through samples and preform a specific gravity test. The Sigma Pro Model can also connect to an external bridge to test large gold or silver bars. The Sigma Metalytics Pro Mini model is portable and connect to a phone, tablet, or computer. The sigma pro mini is also able to preform specific gravity tests and it can test through samples as well. I like the sigma metalytics original model because of the price. I like the sigmal metalytics pro model for the versatility and all of the options, and I like the sigma metalytics pro mini for the options and the portablility. PMV stands for precious metals verifier. If you want to purchase a sigma metalytics gold and silver tester then please use the link below for a discount.

Great video on the Sigma Metalytics units. Contains a lot of details I've not seen mentioned anywhere else, like that the wands are calibrated to a specific device - I had talked to Sigma about buying a unit and they mentioned that as well.

Thanks Silver Dragons, love all the videos. Used your code this week and picked up a sweet verifier pro mini ( it will be here in a couple days)!

Keep the videos coming!

[@coctailer]

We take gold and silver as payment for firearms, so we bought the Pro with the external bridge. We found 2 fake APMEX silver bars. I kinda wish we would have opted for the Pro-Mini.

[@SilverDragons47]

wow FAKE APMEX BARS 🤯 honestly I think the best combo would be to have the pro with the bridge and the pro min as well 🤣🔥🐉

[@chriscard3424v]

BTW: the 1.65 resistivity reading for .999 Ag is exactly correct. (.9999 will be 1.57-1.58); focusing on the brackets sometimes is misleading. I printed a metals resistivity chart from the Sigma Metalytics website and then researched and added others so to have a better idea of proper readings (ranges) of varying PM purities. Also understanding how to use the wands properly is essential. No two metals have the same density and resistivity….I have the Pro mini with three wands and it’s working great with raw coins, slabbed coins, 100g gold bars etc. The only extra equipment I use is a small scale.

[@Firemedic2105]

Can u use a list of the resistivity to use the PRO to test junk silver to make sure it is 90% etc?

The .999 and .9999 functions for pure silver found on the conventional sigma are not needed in the PRO mini and PRO because they already feature two different colors for purity on the scale as ok range for silver, the middle green is just more pure than the orange.

[@SilverDragons47]

[@CuSTACKS]

If you flip the coin or bar on the onr sensor on the original PMV it should read both sides which would be a deeper read.

[@ThePatriotPirate]

[@cairpreliffechair832]

I've had the misfortune to attempt gold and silver pricing with some decent pawn and coin shops. They didn't have any testers of any quality and outright lowballed or refused recognizable bullion. If I had the mini pro on hand....

[@silver_surfer_ZA]

With the original, the coin that passed the conductivity test, does it pass the dimensions test?

[@wolfieolin2537]

Very interesting information

Thanks for the sharing. Do we have to do the test 1 by 1 for individual coin using the mini pro? imagine if we purchase coin by the tubes.

[@SilverDragons47]

there is a way to speed it up the device comes with a plastic piece that keeps the bridge down 🔥🐉

[@johncoxe6329]

How deep on the yellow is expected for a genuine 90% silver coin going to present in the Pro model? Specific gravity might also be a little off.

[@JewelryEnthusiast]

I cant help but wonder with that really good "fake" silver eagle, if the weight, thickness and diameter are spot on? Seems with a copper center, one or more of those would be off making it easy to identify as counterfeit. I thinking of the original just to test coins and rounds for tungsten inserts.

[@saltymemesmith]

Wil they test for 925 sterling coins. I understand 90% is ok but not sure if it does 925 sterling coin. Thanks

[@trickyt1957]

From what size gold and silver bullion bar is it necessary to use the external bridge attachment?

[@AGBullion]

We only recommend the bridge for 100oz bars, anything less can just be testing with the standard unit and/or wands.

[@efrainquintero2827]

Another question, does anyone know how deep a PMI gun can get?

[@vktravellog1242]

I like the pro but if it only detects pure coins only or does it detect 90% for numismatic coin collectors?

[@efrainquintero2827]

Guys, if you toss a fake gold coin (a gold over tungsten coin for example), does it sound the same as a pure gold coin?

[@sixshooter4570]

Good video I only wish that you would have shown visually how that fake coin passed the original tester but failed the specific gravity test on the other machines.

[@AGBullion]

A counterfeit can mimic a metal’s resistivity or density, but not both simultaneously. This is what makes the Pro and Pro mini both such amazing tools.

[@panosp94]

Thank u for a very informative video- question from a beginner: re the Mini - I got confused a bit with the 99 vs 999 settings - how would it read a Gold Krugerrand which we know has a copper coating ? Any setting adjustments ? Thanks 😊

[@AGBullion]

There are multiple 22K settings, all will test Krugs, AGE, 90%, etc

[@jasons4219]

@@AGBullion If you buy the pro with the wands and at a later date decide to get the external bridge, does it have to be calibrated with the machine?

[@AGBullion]

@@jasons4219 Yes, you would have to ship the unit to Sigma to have them calibrate it, which is a lot more costly than ordering it with the bridge up front. Our inventory got wiped out this week but are accepting back orders on bridge units on the website, short lead time.

I know this video has been out for a while but regarding whether I'll get a response or not I'm still curious , if the original sigma failed to spot fake silver would the wands spot the fakes? Also, If I buy the original with the wands along with a digital scale and some neodymium magnets, would that be good strategy to spot fakes be that I can't afford the more expensive models? I'm just trying to figure out what the best budget strategy would be and like to know the opinion of experienced stackers. Thanks.

[@erichhonecker8548]

Is the (Original) perfect for 10 gram to 100 gram gold bars? I have thought of getting 1/2 kilo and 1 kilo silver bars. So would the Original with a wand work well enough?

Same price as Sigma Original but can't add wands. The penetration depth of the onboard sensor is 0.6mm, just mere 0.2mm more than Sigma Original. Not worth IMO.

[@tylerwright6380]

Very useful information. Good video. There is a question in my mind about these machine's ability to read gold coins like: British Edward VII gold sovereigns (.2354 AGW), German Wilhelm II 20 gold marks (.2305 AGW), Russian Nicholos II 15 gold rubles (.3733 AGW).

[@joeknipp6698]

Detection thickness of 0.18mm and 0.25mm for G.O.T. seems pretty thin. Easy enough for a bad guy to fool it. If four quarters are aprx 1/4" thick, that means one quarter would be aprx 1.6mm thick. Easier to catch a fake coin than a thicker fake bar (?). Also, what is the detection thickness for testing silver coins and bars... no sure it was mentioned. Will it test the odd foreign currency silver percentage levels... Canadian 50%, Mexican 72%, etc ?

Likely copper since silver and copper have very similar resistivity. It’s important to note that resistivity can be replicated and dimensions can be replicated, but counterfeits are not able to replicate both simultaneously. This is what makes the pro such an elite verifier.
