About this app

Discover the truth about your gold and silver coins with our Precious Coin Tester app:

🎉 Free Access to over 600 Coins - Start testing immediately!
🥇 High-precision for over 3,000 coins with semi-quantitative results.
🔍 Rich database containing over 40,000 coins.
🛠️ Custom Parameters - Customize testing parameters to suit any coin's unique attributes.

Not sure if your coin is genuine or a counterfeit? Our app simplifies authenticity checks. Unlike traditional methods that require a fine ear for sound, Precious Coin Tester analyzes the sound from a simple "ping" test and determines if your coin is made from precious metals or cheaper materials. No more uncertainties about your coin's authenticity!

How It Works:

1. Place your coin on the tip of your finger near your device’s microphone.
2. Tap the coin with a hard object and let it ring.
3. The app listens and analyzes the sound. Knock again when the ringing stops.

What Do the Results* Mean?
0-star: Negative result
1-star: Warning zone. You may need probably double check input parameters.
2-star: Your coin’s sound matches that of a genuine coin.
3-star: High-precision result: metal content error is under 10% for silver and under 5% for gold.

Differences between 2 Stars and 3 Stars?
2-star is a qualitative positive result. It is what traditional ping test offers.
3-star is our unique high precision result. It states clearly the metal content expectations.
🤑 Spot a 3-stars false positive and you may win a $100 reward! Details: https://preciouscointester.com/en/3_star_quest/round2/3_star_quest.html

What is this new points system per coin ping test, absolutely ridiculous, I had paid for unlimted tests for a month and see no option for that again, I will not be using or purchasing anything on this app until the flat fees are back, charging per coin is ridiculous for those with many to test.

Hello, the subscription (flat rate) is still there. Maybe you just need to sync the app using "Restore Purchases" from subscription page. (Sometimes, the local data in the app is lost after cache cleaning etc). You can find more details on this page: https://www.preciouscointester.com/en/academy/subscription

absolute 100% garbage. I was asked by the developers to elaborate upon why I believe that this app is garbage. I have to say that the main reason is that most of the precious metals are not even available for an analysis on this app. There are many other free apps available that can do this for very wide applications. Honestly speaking, those options that are available for free are limited or require extra payment. there are better and free options online

Hello, our app features over 42,000 cataloged coins and a fully customizable mode — a unique feature in the market. We also offer 600+ coins for free, making it one of the most generous selections available. If a coin is missing, you can submit it, and we reward valid submissions with Precious Coins, which help unlock full access to the database.

Sooo disappointed. Used to be a great free app but now it's subscription based. I wouldn't mind paying a reasonable one time fee but having to pay a monthly(!) subscription fee? That would only make sense if I am a coin dealer or have to check a lot of coins every month. For the occasional test of a coin at the flea market the subscription price is to high. Suggestion: make a "pro" version that is subscription based and offer a "free" version that allows one to test a few coins a month.

Hello, the improvement and support of the app cost. It was free and run on our own expense, but not sustainable. We had to choose to stop the service totally, or to charge some fees so that the service is still available to those who really need it. Besides, we've offered more than 100 common coins free to test. We hope that you can understand.
