Without trying to cause offence, the OP has merely stated that it is making a pinging sound like silver. I suggest quite legitimately that the OP doesn’t know what he is talking about, especially as no photographic evidence has been provided - a simple image of the side will tell if it is the copper clad version or a silver coin!

You're right, but since he's not a new member, he might come to his senses, at least his got scales by now!

Correct: I just stated that it is making a pinging sound, and because I didn't know what I was talking about, I was hoping folks here could enlighten me, which they did.
I did forget to add the detail that the color of the coin is also silver, and I apologize for missing this detail.
The edge looks exactly how it does here N#3366 and I have no clue what to make of it.

Yup sure did. Didn't realize how useful this tiny thing could be 🙂
So I got curious. Yes the Cu-Ni clad copper does have “ting” sound. Because of the size it has a fairly high resonant frequency. It's not as loud or high or long lasting as a silver coin of the same size but could confuse you if you didn't compare it to a silver coin. I recorded both. If you want you can listed here:

Nice, I picked up a pocket pinger a few weeks ago and it came with access to a website that has a whole database of silver coin frequencies. (https://stackertools.com/home) It's a pretty handy site and I've been trying to learn more about how different metals sound.
This has me wondering now if I should start adding resonate frequencies to my spreadsheet or maybe if it would be beneficial to request that the site add it as an optional field for coins in the collections pages. It's probably not something that many would fine useful I suspect.
In addition to this ping tester I have a small digital caliper and scale that has helped me sort out which variation of a coin I have enough times to justify buying them.

There's another good app that actually ties directly into the Numista database. It called Precious Coin Tester. I used it some until they went to subscription basis.
Oh yeah, I think I have that one too, well the free version that only lets you do silver eagles and maples only. I considered paying for it but I don't use it enough to justify the cost. Mostly just when I buy something at a flea market or garage sale.

Thank you for sharing this. I can hear the difference. I always associated the “ting” sound with silver coins, without realizing the difference between the tone of the pinging. Thanks again.
