Coin Booklet
The Coin Booklet was developed by Sigma Metalytics to help new users and new investors get all the info they need for the most popular and common coins in one place. They consulted with the largest online retailers to determine which coin and bar types were most popular among their customers, then researched the correct information for each coin and bar, and collected all of that info in this booklet.
The booklet provides an overview of best testing practices, what to look out for, and common counterfeiting techniques. The booklet details each sample type's weight in ozt, weight in grams, thickness in mm, diameter in mm, which alloy setting to use to test it on the Sigma Metalytics Original, and which sensor to use to test the sample.
