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'.

My main purpose is to weigh coin shipments and ebay shipments to gauge shipping costs. Not the best for checking coin weights.

Is there a Harbor Freight store near you? if so check there. They have a few to choose from, decent price and I think one of them is even made in the USA!

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