The brand new, upgraded Sigma Metalytics Precious Metals Verifier Pro is now available for comprehensive bullion testing.

Making four separate measurements to verify metal content in a coin or bar, the Precious Metal Verifier Pro enhances the testing capabilities of the original PMV. More effective than XRF technology that only penetrates millimeters, the Sigma Metalytics measures surface resistivity, and the resistivity all the way through the coin at the same time. 

1. It measures surface resistivity, in the same way the original Precious Metal Verifier does.
2. Using two sensors, above and below the sample, the PMV PRO can measure the resistivity all the way through the coin (thru resistivity), and see if it is the same as that at the surface. In this way you can detect inserted metals.
3. Using the two sensors, the PMV PRO measures the thickness of the metal, even for coins in plastic holders.
4. Once you have entered the listed, or measured weight of the sample. You can determine if the density (specific gravity) of the sample is consistent with the metal indicated. The PMV PRO does this by making sure that the length/width, or diameter of the sample is consistent with the weight, resistivity, metal type, and thickness of it.

The Large Sensor (left) measures bars and coins 30 mm and greater in diameter. The maximum thickness that can be used on this sensor is 14 mm.

The Small Sensor measures bars and coins 8 mm in diameter and larger. The maximum thickness that can be used on this sensor is 4.2 mm.

The PMV PRO contains many ranges to test gold: pure gold, 22 K gold remainder copper (Krugerrand), 22 K gold 3% silver 5.3% copper (American Gold Eagle), 98.6% gold (Ducat), and 90% gold remainder copper.

On the silver ranges it measures pure silver, sterling silver, 90% silver, older 90% silver, 80% silver, and Britannia silver.

It also has ranges to measure platinum, palladium, rhodium, and copper.

Never fall victim to a gold, silver, platinum or palladium counterfeit coin or bar!

Free Gift – Precious Metals Small Wand!

As a national bullion dealer for over a decade, we are known nationwide for our Authenticity Guarantee.  One of the tools we use to test all of our gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion is the Sigma Metalytics Precious Metals Verifier.

No more worries about the depth of the buried metal. We measure the thickness of the metal, even for coins in plastic holders. Also, if the weight is entered, the density can be verified to be correct by measuring coin or bar dimensions directly on the instrument. In many cases we can do this even for coins in holders. With these additional checks, you will find greatly increased security using the Precious Metal Verifier Pro.

A summary of the Precious Metal Verifier Pro benefits:

1. Can be used with any precious metal – gold, silver, platinum or palladium.
2. Reads the metal bulk?not coatings and plating.
3. Can read through packaging.  No need to cut open sealed items.
4. Results in 1 second – literally!
5. No wet chemistry, no consumables, no scraping or filing.
6. Inexpensive to buy and use.
7. Detects and prevents precious metal fraud by effectively identifying counterfeits.
8. Can assist in determining numismatic authenticity.
9. Easy to use, easy to program for additional sample types.
10. Portable long battery life.
11. Durable – no maintenance required.

This Unit also includes a two additional testing wands for greater versatility, a Refiners wand that detects metal under the surface 1.5 times deeper than the current Bullion wand. This is for use with bars larger than 1kg.

The Verifier can assess a sample in less than one second without affecting the coin or bullion in any way. Unlike in other testing methods, plating and surface features do not significantly impact the unit’s ability to measure the underlying metal. Using electromagnetic waves that penetrate deeply into the coin or bar, plating and surface features are largely ignored, and the main body of metal assessed.

Many standard metals are stored in the Precious Metal Verifier and can be selected by the user. For example, for gold coins the user can select pure gold, 22 K gold, 90% gold; for silver, pure silver, sterling silver, 90% silver. Pure platinum, palladium, rhodium, and copper also have stored values. Each of these coin and bullion metals will produce a unique reading on the Precious Metal Verifier. Even small changes in alloy make a big difference in the readings on the Precious Metal Verifier.

We will also offer a Small Wand which can measure small items down to a width of 3.5 mm.

Included with your Precious Metals Verifier PRO is a protective carrying case, the Refiners Wand for measuring bars thicker than 14mm, and the all-new Small Wand for measuring items as small as 3mm.

We are a manufacturer authorized distributor, all products are covered under a factory warranty.  Details available upon request.
