Silver and Gold Coin and Bar Ping Test Tool and 7 similar items

This is a simple device to securely hold a Gold or Silver coin while performing a "Ping" test. This will hold up to a 1/2-inch thick coin or bar. The Ping test is an audible method to help determine if a Gold or Silver coin is authentic. An authentic coin will have a distinctive ring when it is held in this tool and gently tapped. To use, simply squeeze the clip open, place the center of the coin in the center of the soft, rubber pads, and release the clip to secure the coin. Then use a wooden pencil, or similar object to gently tap the edge of the coin. An authentic coin will have a solid, consistent ring. Composite coins will have a harsh or duller tone. This tool can be used with any "Coin Ping" test app for your phone. This tool is based off an old clothesline pin used in the past to perform the ping test, updated with modern materials. This ping test tool is made of plastic, with rubber pads to prevent coin damage. The tool is 5" x 1-5/16" x 5/16".
