Looking For Scale Advice

I was just at Walmart and they have several that go from 0 to 300 pounds. Only one that went over that if you need one. Some are digital and some just the old type.
OOHHH, did you mean for coins?
Actually many people buy them from all over the place. I would suggest whoever is going to buy one for you that they look into one from a jewelery product type store. You would only need one that measures in Ounces and Grams for most of your uses with coins.
There are very few coins that require pounds or kilograms you know.
Most are not to expensive. From about $20 to $50 at most from almost anywhere. Try Google and type in scales.

I use a US BALANCE Digital Pocket Scale that goes from 300g x.01g. It also measures in oz, gn and dwt. It's a 2006 model USN-300. I'm happy with it and I'm sure you'd be too if you got an even newer model.

I have this:

Works fine. Cheap. What's not to like?

Whatever you buy, just ensure it's rated for 0.01g resolution.

Dave, there's only one review for that scale on Amazon and it's not very good. Can you relate to what the reviewer is saying? I've been keeping an eye open for an inexpensive 0.01 gram accuracy scale for a little while.

Difficult to answer. Some of those scales do require to be reset to 0 each time you use them. Many do not. I've got a few of them and two of them do require me to calibrate back to 0 in case it starts with anything else. Usually does start with some number. One of mine just starts with 0. All are basically OK for accuracy. I say OK since when it comes to .001 of a gram, most cheaper ones are not the best. Of course if your doing .001 grams, your probably doing something fantastic.

JustCarl, If I understood correctly, the reviewer wasn't saying that he had to reset it zero, but that he had to put a 100 gram standard on there and calibrate it to that.
