Abstract: An apparatus used to balance bullion for a Ping Test. The apparatus is placed on a flat surface. The bullion being tested is then placed in a balanced position on top of the device. The user then taps the now balancing bullion with an appropriate object. This causes a vibration to move through the bullion, which creates a sound that is unique to the physical properties of the bullion being tested. By listening to the sound, and comparing it with a known authentic, the user can determine if the bullion being tested sounds genuine, has anomalies, been altered, tampered with, or is a counterfeit. Any differences in the sound produced is a strong indication that the bullion needs further testing.

Abstract: An apparatus and method facilitating a coin ping test that involves placing a coin in between two prongs that are covered with caps made of silicone, fabric, soft plastic, and/or other material or combination of materials that pinch and grip the coin tightly in place for a ping test. The elasticity of the caps also allows for the coin to be pressed down on one edge and then released, resulting in the coin snapping back down onto a hammer or surface causing the coin to ping on contact.
