Does anyone happen to have any of these coins if so i would really appreciate it if you can make a video of a ping test for them. I did i ping test on mine with a sunshine round and they both sounded a bit dull. Does the edge of the coin make it sound different because both of there coins have a sharper edge but the rounds have more of a rounded edge (no pun intended). But yea I would really like some help with this Thanks!

Just submit some pics and weigh them. Should be able to determine if they are fakes that way. I found ping test unreliable. If you bought from a reputable source I would not worry about it either.

I have to agree with nabullion that the ping test is unreliable. There a few other tests you can do on the coins to ensure they are authentic. As said get them weighed and compare them to a genuine coin. Second do a magnetic test. Use a strong magnet , then tilt the coin slightly and let the magnet run down the coin. It should slide but slowly. If it sticks or slides down fast you have a fake coin. Last try a tissue test. Take a kleenex and place a single sheet unfolded over the coin. If it appears through the tissue as a white circle it is an indication its real.
