How to Spot a Fake Philharmonic
Counterfeit 1 oz Silver Austrian Philharmonic coins are increasingly common. Use the acoustic verifier above as your first line of defense, then check these key red flags:
- 🚨Incorrect weight (should be exactly 31.1g)
- 🚨Wrong diameter (should be 37mm)
- 🚨Dull or flat ping sound
- 🚨Magnetic properties
Tip: Sophisticated counterfeits can fool visual inspection alone. Always use the acoustic verifier above alongside precise weight and dimension measurements.
