Well this is been talked about but I came across a Utube video on how to perform just how to do this . Before my experience with Coin Talk , I never heard of this test . So, Here you all go . I hope this hasn't been shown before . Take Care, be safe .
Gosh, I would never, ever do this, nor recommend it to anyone. You can spin a coin on a hard surface and listen to it ring as it settles onto the surface, without banging on it and dropping it. The test is unreliable anyway, and the more expensive Chinese fakes are silver.
@KBBPLL . That's only what has been recommended here on Coin Talk . Spinning it on a hard surface is how I thought it was done also .
I don't know about everyone else, but the "ring test" in this video seems to miss the "ring tone" on more than one occasion, it is also destructive and should not be done on any significant value coins.
Frankly the first fake ASE sounded better than the real one. And on some attempts the coins didn't ring at all, and you saw that there is the danger of dropping them. It is also more dificult o do with smaller coins because of a larger percentage of th surface being in contact with your finger. This can deaden or dampen the "ping"
