I'm looking to buy a coin scale. Hopefully under $50.00. It's not for bulk weighing, just one coin at a time. Any suggestions? Also, what accuracy is needed? .1g or .01g? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Rest in Peace

It is 0.1 close enough for what I use it for.

I bought that one for getting cars ready for the Cub Scout Pinewood Derby and they have to be no more than 5.00oz. I borrowed the official Pack 5.00oz weight to check scales and my little HF scale came in at 4.99oz. Interestingly enough the expensive offical scales at the weigh in were either 4.99999oz or 5.00000oz. I was surprised at how accurate it was.

You may want to check into jewlery supply houses too. They have a large selection of scales and of all types of accuracy.
