John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/19/2024 09:00 am I have posted more than once that a scale that reads down to .001 is better than a scale that reads .01 and they don't cost much more. Besides, the scale will last you your lifetime. Buy once not twice. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 01/19/2024 5:15 pm What difference does it make if the weight is 2.7, or 2.79. It's still way underweight even if it was 2.79. Report this Post to the Staff

It's still way underweight even if it was 2.79. It seems they are not as sensitive, not as true to actual weight. I suppose a good way for the OP to see, would be to weigh other coins and see if they are off too. The coin maybe light but not as far off of tolerance as it may seem to be at this point. Added: I have a small set of weights that I use to calibrate from time to time also, they are fairly inexpensive. -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 01/19/2024 5:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 I suppose that would be good for gold and such but .01 will take care of what most of what folks like me handle, silver and less. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
