Expected resonance range
High confidence*| Mode | Expected ring | Recommended variance |
|---|---|---|
| c0d2 | 3.60–4.09 kHz | ±6.4% |
| c0d3 | 8.34–9.34 kHz | ±5.7% |
| c0d4 | 14.46–16.21 kHz | ±5.7% |
A genuine Silver Libertad 2 oz rings within these ranges at its c0d2/c0d3/c0d4 vibration modes, fixed by its size and metal. The recommended variance is how far a genuine specimen's ring can sit from each center — built up in quadrature from real manufacturing tolerance and temperature (under 1%), phone-mic capture reproducibility (≈4%), an extra allowance on the fundamental for minting-asymmetry splitting, and a per-metal model-uncertainty term (largest for .9999 gold, whose modulus is least certain). The higher modes also carry a small thick-plate centre correction, since a real coin is not infinitely thin. The high-confidence tag reflects how well-established this metal's constants are: Computed from well-established silver elastic constants and cross-checked against same-size sibling coins. These are guidance bands, not exact values — see the methodology for the exact formula, or calibrate your own coin in the app for a specimen-exact reference and tighten each peak per coin.

🎙 Submit sample pingsHow to ping test a Silver Libertad 2 oz
- Hold — grip the coin by its center (a nodal point) in a coin ping-test holder so the rim rings freely; a fingertip at the center is a last resort.
- Tap — strike the edge with a striker near the microphone.
- Read the verdict — MATCH or NO MATCH against the peaks above, plus weight and size checks.
Silver Libertad 2 oz — frequently asked
How much does a Silver Libertad 2 oz weigh?
The official specification is 62.2 g in .999 fine silver (source: Casa de Moneda de México (Banco de México)). Coin Pinger's weight check allows ±0.3 g by default.
What size is a Silver Libertad 2 oz?
48 mm in diameter, per Casa de Moneda de México (Banco de México). Note the average disc thickness is less than the rim caliper reading — the raised rim and relief concentrate metal at the edge.
What frequency does a genuine Silver Libertad 2 oz ring at?
Its fundamental (c0d2) vibration mode is computed to ring in the 3.60–4.09 kHz range, with higher modes near 8.34–9.34 kHz and 14.46–16.21 kHz. These are first-principles physics computations from the coin's published mass, diameter, and metal — not measurements of sample coins.
Why does my genuine Silver Libertad 2 oz ring slightly off the listed frequencies?
Phone-mic capture moves a genuine peak a few percent tap-to-tap — strike point, holding pressure, and the microphone's own response all matter. Temperature and normal minting tolerance add under 1%. The published band already allows for all of this; for a tighter reference, calibrate your own genuine Silver Libertad 2 oz in the app.
Does ping testing damage a Silver Libertad 2 oz?
No — the test needs only a light tap on the edge with a non-marring striker (a wooden pencil or plastic stylus works well), far gentler than normal handling. Hold the coin at its center so the rim can ring freely.
