Principle OK, but the technique could do with a bit of improvement.
1. Use a plastic container that is only just big enough to accommodate a fully submerged coin.
2. Use a scales that is most sensitively accurate in the weight range you are measuring.

Remember the correct application of Archimedes' Principle:
"When an object is wholly or partially immersed in a water, there is an apparent loss in weight, which is equal to the weight of water displaced".
