Can Anyone Recommend A Scale For Weighing Coins?

I believe in NYC it is illegal to carry a scale like what you described on your person, as drug dealers use them. Not kidding lol.

When I was wrestling with the same question a while ago, I looked at what could be found on Amazon and ebay, read many reviews, got perplexed and totally
bogged down while trying to choose a direction in the jungle of numerous and widely differing products and reviews of them.

Then I had a brainstorm. I told my main contact at my LCS what I needed a scale to do, what degree of sophistication and accuracy I needed and asked for
his advice. In under two seconds after listening to me, he grabbed a little digital coin scale from under the counter an slid it over the counter to me. It's a modest
little Cheap-O that goes down to the tenth of a gram (which is all I need) & weighs things in grams, grains, ounces and troy ounces. It cost me >$20 and it's worked
like a champ ever since I took it home.

Moral of my story--"Simplify." I'd suggest checking in with your LCS. Chances are good they have exactly what you need for a reasonable price and that it's a
brand and model that they consider to be a proven performer that's worth what they're selling it for.

Edit: Question to John1--When you mention going "down to .01 and not .1" do you mean a .01 of an ounce or .01 of a gram?

Check Harbor Freight Tools. Mine is US-Magnum 1000xr works great. Less than $20.00 I believe. Goes to 0.1g.

Gram.
