In none of those cases would measuring to the milligram be of benefit. A scale measuring to the milligram does nothing when there is a potential spread of either 260 mg or 200 mg in the target coin. 1943 cent? Use a magnet. Missing clad layer? Visual inspection. One milligram or even 10 will not resolve the issue.
If you insist on "The more accurate the better", get a Mettler lab balance and take it to 5 decimal places.

Much too expensive and I am not insisting anything. Buy whatever you want or just don't.
