I'm in the market for a coin scale, but have no clue which manufacture makes great scales for coins.
Any recommendations?
Thanks.

G'day, I got one that is electronic; digital; increments of 0.01 gram; upto 100g. Seems ok, except that the battery goes flat very quickly. It was a cheapie, out of "thE Bay", cost less than $20.

I just got this one that weighs up to 600g, but the gram accuracy is to the tenths, not hundredeths like Mr. Thomas'. http://cgi.ebay.com/1-DigiWeigh-BX-...le_W0QQitemZ110307301200QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item19aed3d750&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 My main purpose is to weigh coin shipments and ebay shipments to gauge shipping costs. Not the best for checking coin weights.

I have one like KenKat's. I tested it using the certified weights at my pharmacy and it was dead on.
