kavern23 Valued Member Canada 78 Posts	Posted 12/23/2012 03:55 am Hi, I was wondering what is the best scale to use...relatively good price and accurate. I bought a cheap scale on ebay...from China for 6 Dollars (yes I should have known better) and it is complete junk. Weighing the same Canadian Maple, lol, gives me a different weight each day and I calibrate it. Tks Report this Post to the Staff

I have no complaints. It's the size of a checkbook so you could take it to a coin show no problem. I would also recommend you pick up a Loupe for looking at the details of coins. I bought a Bausch & Lomb first(supposedly the best) I struggled with the small viewing area and it wasn't working for me(maybe I don't have enough experience) I returned it and went online and bought this BelOMO 10x Loupe, made it Bellarus of all places, because people said it had a large viewing angle. It was a great purchase for half the cost of the Bauch & Lomb, I'd highly recommend it. Very easy to use and a large crystal clear viewing area. Report this Post to the Staff
